How to treat allergic otitis externa

Autumn has come quietly, the weather has become dry, and it is easy to get angry and suffer from various inflammatory diseases. Today I will popularize one disease to you, allergic otitis externa. This disease is particularly prone to occur in autumn and is generally common in teenagers. If you are interested, you can take a look at some of the following things, which may help you.

The disease is more likely to occur when the skin of the external auditory canal is injured or the local resistance is reduced, such as ear digging, swimming in water, long-term stimulation of purulent otitis media, etc. In addition, people with allergic constitutions and diabetes are prone to repeated attacks. Common pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus, etc. Guidance: Control infection, clean the local area, remove pus scabs, promote drying, and in the acute stage, systemic antibiotics can be used to control infection.

If the external auditory canal is swollen and exudate is more severe after taking analgesics, 5%-8% aluminum acetate gauze can be used to plug the external auditory canal. The patient should drip the above solution by himself every 3-4 hours, and the gauze should be changed every day. It has astringent and anti-inflammatory effects and can promote drying. Alternatively, 2%-5% silver nitrate solution can be applied, or a mixture of antibiotics and steroid hormones, pastes or creams can be used for local application. For chronic cases, antibiotics (such as polymyxin, neomycin, etc.) and hormones (such as prednisolone, dexamethasone, etc.) mixtures, creams, powders, etc. can also be used for local dressing, application or blowing. Actively treat infected lesions such as suppurative otitis media, and strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of certain related systemic diseases such as anemia, vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders, diabetes, etc.

The following methods can be used for treatment: 1. Rinse the external auditory canal with 0.9% normal saline, use a suction tube, and carefully remove pus, exudate, crusts, desquamation, etc. from the external auditory canal under a magnifying otoscope or surgical microscope.

2. Apply a short gauze strip of 4% boric acid ethanol and 2% phenol glycerin to the external auditory canal. Instruct the patient to drop the above medicine once every 3 to 4 hours and change the gauze strip once a day. 3. For chronic cases, antibiotics (such as neomycin, polymyxin, etc.) and hormones (such as prednisolone, dexamethasone, etc.) mixtures, creams, ointments, etc. can be used for application and dressing changes. 4. If allergic factors are suspected, anti-allergic drugs such as cetirizine 10 mg/time, once a day can be used. 5. Actively treat infectious lesions, such as suppurative otitis media, cerumen embolism, foreign bodies, etc. 6. Strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of systemic diseases, such as anemia, vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders, diabetes, etc.

This disease is caused by getting angry, so before the arrival of autumn, you must replenish water. You can eat more fruits and fresh vegetables, bring a glass of water to school or work every day, and drink a glass of water when you get up in the morning. Remember not to eat spicy, greasy, or angry junk food. Finally, I wish you all good health and smooth work.
