What to do about tinnitus as a sequela of otitis media

Otitis media is a common clinical disease, which is accompanied by many complications, including tinnitus. Most people don’t know what to do about tinnitus, a sequela of otitis media. Tinnitus caused by otitis media can usually be treated with effective treatment.

1. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is recommended, and the Chinese medicine otitis media powder can be used for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ear diseases are caused by the invasion of pathogenic toxins, which disrupt the body's normal physiological functions and thus cause pathological changes. Specifically, otitis media is caused by dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder and the prevalence of evil qi. When the body's positive energy is strong, it is difficult for evil energy to invade and cause illness. Otitis media powder is composed of four medicinal herbs: frankincense, myrrh, licorice and borneol. It treats otitis media by harmonizing qi and blood, and replenishing qi and restoring pulses. The herbs are carefully selected and matched, and the effect is very significant. Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine has cured countless cases of otitis media and helped many patients get rid of the troubles of ear diseases, which is the result of its rational use of medicines.

2. Tinnitus after otitis media is mostly caused by abnormal ventilation and drainage of middle ear inflammation or damage to inner ear function, and may be accompanied by conductive deafness or mixed deafness. It is recommended to visit an otolaryngologist for specialist examination, hearing test and high-resolution CT of the temporal bone. Depending on the specific circumstances of the disease, tympanoplasty and ossicular chain reconstruction may be performed if necessary.

3. When the middle ear becomes inflamed, it will affect the blood circulation in the inner ear. If the blood circulation in the inner ear is poor, the nutrients needed by the ear nerves cannot be supplied, and tinnitus will occur. Otitis media is an inflammatory disease of the tympanic cavity mucosa of the middle ear, which causes negative pressure in the tympanic cavity. Inflammation invading the tympanic cavity tissue can cause tinnitus. Therefore, treatment of otitis media must be handled early. The damage of early otitis media is limited, and timely treatment can cure the caused tinnitus. In the chronic stage, if the inner ear is severely damaged, even if the otitis media itself is resolved, it will be difficult to completely recover from the tinnitus. It is recommended to go to a professional ENT hospital for targeted treatment, and blind medication is not recommended.
