Is otitis media serious? What are the dangers?

People don't take otitis media, a common disease, seriously enough. Otitis media has a great impact on the health of the ear. If not treated in time, the patient will experience symptoms such as low fever, loss of appetite, diarrhea, etc. Long-term otitis media can also lead to the occurrence of tumors. Therefore, otitis media is a more serious disease and requires timely treatment.

What are the specific dangers of otitis media?

1. Physiological reaction:

Because otitis media is an inflammatory disease, people will show typical characteristics of inflammatory diseases after suffering from this disease, such as low fever, loss of appetite, etc. Severe patients may even experience severe diarrhea, mental depression, etc., and their own immune ability will be greatly reduced.

2. Intracranial diseases:

The middle ear is located below the brain, close to the skull. If such a disease occurs and is not treated in time, it may even induce intracranial diseases. Meningitis is a common complication of otitis media, and intracranial diseases are life-threatening. Therefore, children with otitis media are seriously endangered.

3. Disease Pathology:

The spread of inflammatory diseases is caused by the lack of timely treatment. If the disease is not treated for a long time, and the child's resistance is poor, the spread of the disease will accelerate, and a tumor will form in the ear, resulting in disease lesions.
