Things to note when suffering from ear fistula inflammation

I believe everyone knows about the disease of ear fistula inflammation? It can be said that this is a disease that cannot be called a disease, it is mostly congenital. Generally, it does not have much impact on the human body, but sometimes once it occurs, it is inevitable that it will have a certain impact on the human body. So how should we pay attention to it in our lives? Let us discuss it together.

1. If it is just a little itchy and uncomfortable, be careful not to touch the fistula hole with dirty hands. You can squeeze it appropriately and then wipe off the secretions with a clean cotton swab (toilet paper). Squeeze and expel the secretions twice at most. Do not squeeze the ears excessively just because the secretions may be expelled during squeezing and the ears may feel more comfortable. As long as the secretions inside are properly discharged, not accumulated too much and not in contact with dirty hands (there are too many bacteria on the hands), the possibility of inflammation will be reduced.

2. When your body's resistance is reduced, such as during menstruation, try not to squeeze. You should also pay attention to it during a cold. It is best to squeeze the itchiness if it is uncomfortable during this period, and then disinfect the fistula hole with alcohol after squeezing. When your physical signs are normally healthy, you do not need to disinfect. Frequent use of a drug to irritate any wound will reduce the efficacy of the drug.

3. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods during a cold. When you have a cold, your body will become inflamed. If you eat this kind of food, it will cause the body's heat to become worse and the chance of fistula inflammation and infection will increase.

4. Once there is a lump at the inflamed area and it is accompanied by swelling and pain, you should first use external medication to scrub and reduce inflammation. If the swelling continues, the chance of suppuration will increase. But it doesn't mean it has become purulent. If you feel throbbing pain in the red and swollen area, it is basically determined that it has become purulent. At this time, we can only wait for the abscess to mature and drain the pus.

In terms of diet, be careful not to eat irritating foods, such as beef, mutton, seafood, mushrooms, mangoes, peppers, etc. Try not to eat irritating foods. Also be careful when washing your hair and taking a bath, try not to get it exposed to water and keep the area clean.

It is necessary to change the dressing and clean the wound every day after the incision and drainage of the preauricular fistula. While changing the local dressing, you should also take medicine or intravenous anti-inflammatory drugs.

Preauricular fistula infection can recur after one infection. Surgery is the only way to cure fistula, and fistula removal must be performed after the inflammation is controlled.

General anesthesia is used during the operation. It is best to find a tertiary hospital and a careful doctor, preferably a chief physician. Preauricular fistula can only be eradicated by complete resection of the fistula.

The article gives you a detailed introduction to some precautions for ear fistula inflammation. So if there is someone in the family suffering from this condition, we must help them pay more attention to reduce the recurrence of ear fistula inflammation and bring some unnecessary trouble to their lives. Only in this way can we promote their physical health.
