Watch out! Swimming is easy to cause ear disease

Hot summer has come, the swimming pool to become the public's summer treasure, after swimming due to ear discomfort to the hospital for treatment increased significantly. From the city's major hospitals ENT learned that the recent incidence of otitis media and external auditory canal increased by at least three percent before the increase. Tianjin Medical University, the second hospital ENT chief physician Liu Liyan reminded, and we usually understand the different otitis media is often caused by choking water, rather than ears into the water.

Choking water is caused by the ear of the ear culmination

"Every summer there are a lot of external auditory canal inflammation, otitis media patients come to the treatment, most of them are related to swimming." Liu Liyan director said that people who often swim, the swimming pool is not clean water infection, easily lead to inflammation of the ear, To otitis media and external auditory canal inflammation is the most common. Swimming may lead to ear disease, and ears, nose, pharynx, throat four organs are pharynx as the center, related to each other. Liu Liyan, director explained, between the nose and mouth there is a pipe called the Eustachian tube connected to the end of the pipe opening in the nasal cavity of the nasal cavity, the other end of the opening in the middle of the aneurysm. Swimming once the throat or nose choking water, the water bacteria along the Eustachian tube will be extended to the middle ear cavity mucosa, causing otitis media.

Acute otitis media will appear ear pain, hearing loss, fever, ear flu pus and other symptoms, children or poor resistance to people more likely to move. External auditory canal inflammation is too dirty with the pool of water, or "ear feces" too much. "Earwax" too much from the medical point of view is the cerumen embolism, swimming when the earwax water, swelling, it is easy to cause inflammation. The symptoms of external auditory canal are also auditory canal disease, hearing loss. If not active treatment, there may be caused by tympanic inflammation.
It's best not to dive with special earplugs
"Often swim people, the prevention of ear disease, you can keep the ears dry start." Liu Liyan director said that five points of prevention.
One can swim when the swimming ear can be used to prevent ear water; Second, swimming is best not to dive, to prevent changes in pressure lead to ear disease, but also to avoid choking water; third is the swimming shore, the head side, Hand pull the ear and jump on one leg to help the water out of the ear, and dry with a towel; four is to master the correct way to blow your nose, that is, with your fingers pressing the side of the nose, the other side of the nose slowly blowing water (Such as cotton swabs, pins, fingernails, etc.), but also try not to dig earwax, because the ear can prevent the ear from suffering from infection, but also to prevent the ear from the ear, If you feel the ear is blocked by the ear (such as "ear feces" was soaked up), should be timely medical treatment.
Liu Liyan, director of the last reminder, suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, nasal cavity lesions (such as sinusitis), chronic otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation is puff people temporarily should not swim, once swimming after feeling itching, redness, pain or liquid outflow, Should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
