What to do if your ears hurt when you dig them

The ears and belly buttons are areas of the human body that easily harbor dirt and filth, so we need to carry out timely cleaning. Especially in the ear area, the structure of the ear determines its internal complexity. A large number of bacteria multiply inside the ear, and even bacteria gather to form what we often call earwax. Therefore, ear cleaning is a method we often use to clean ear bacteria. What should you do if you accidentally hurt your ears when digging?

1. First of all, after the ear is scratched and pain occurs, we must make an accurate judgment on where the injury is, whether it is a minor ear skin damage or a serious eardrum perforation. Different injuries have different treatment methods. If you cannot make an accurate judgment, you can go to the hospital for examination.

2. Local stimulation from ear cleaning may cause inflammation. You need to pay attention to your personal conditioning methods at ordinary times, and then receive symptomatic treatment in time, such as taking some medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs.

3. If it hurts when you pick your ears, it may lead to otitis media if you don’t treat it. Treatment can be done with external ear drops and avoid frequent ear cleaning.

4. Pain from cleaning your ears may be caused by damage to the skin of the external auditory canal. With the help of a doctor, check whether there is any damage to the eardrum and go to the ENT department for examination and diagnosis. If there is no reference, local medications or antibiotics can be used to prevent infection, otherwise it may cause hearing loss.

5. If skin damage is caused by excessive ear picking, you can go to the hospital for examination first to see if there is any damage. If there is any inflammation, be sure to use anti-inflammatory treatment to avoid more serious ear diseases.

6. It may be caused by improper force when digging the ears, which is generally not a big problem. You can use some ear drops. If the case is severe and there is pus discharge and severe pain, you must pay attention to intravenous treatment while using external medications.

7. If the pain is only caused by ear skin lesions, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the pain. If there are further lesions in the ear canal, it may become infected and pus may form. Be careful not to irritate the ear canal. You can use ofloxacin ear drops to drop the ears. Combined with external and internal anti-inflammatory drugs, the infection will soon be relieved.
