What disease is it that makes my ears hurt when I bite something

Many friends suddenly feel discomfort in their ears when they bite something while eating. In fact, although the facial features of a person are the same, if the ears hurt when biting something, it is generally caused by certain diseases. So what specific disease is it that causes ear pain when biting something? If you want to know the answer to this question, you need to read this article in detail.

If you want to know why your ears hurt when you bite something, first determine where the pain is. If the pain is in the front of the ear, it may be temporomandibular arthritis.

If so, you should use your left side to eat and avoid eating hard food. For mild pain, rest can be the main treatment. Infrared, ultrashort wave, laser, wax therapy, massage and local hot compress also have certain therapeutic effects. Do not open your mouth too wide, such as when yawning or laughing. Don't eat on one side at a time, but switch sides frequently. When you are feeling well, practice opening your mouth every day. Dental problems also need to be treated, such as periodontitis, impacted wisdom teeth, repair of missing teeth, correction of malocclusion, etc.

If the pain is in the ear, you should go to the ENT department to see if it is otitis media. It may be tinnitus caused by otitis media. Otitis media, commonly known as "rotten ears", is an inflammation of the tympanic cavity mucosa. Otitis media is relatively common in daily life, and is mostly caused by colds, upper respiratory tract infections, water in the ears when swimming or bathing, etc. The most common symptoms of otitis media are a feeling of stuffiness or blockage in the ear, hearing loss or tinnitus, which often occur after a cold or occur unconsciously. If so, anti-inflammatory treatment is needed.

Otitis media is a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are a specific treatment. Sensitive antibiotics should be selected, and intravenous drip is often the route of administration. This can reach the lesion faster and allow the drug to take effect. Phenol ear drops can be used to relieve pain before the tympanic membrane is perforated. After the perforation of the eardrum, the pus is cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and then treated with antibiotic ear drops.

This article not only introduces what disease causes ear pain when biting things, but also analyzes its treatment method. Therefore, even if you encounter this situation, you don’t need to be too nervous. You only need to follow the prescribed treatment and the disease can be easily recovered. In some cases, it can even heal itself and does not require special treatment. I hope that patients will not have too much psychological pressure.
