Why does my right ear hurt?

The ear is an organ that the human body uses to receive sounds from the outside world. It is very important to the human body. Without ears, people's daily life would be greatly affected. However, since people do not pay attention to the hygiene of the ears in daily life, ear pain may occur. Right ear pain is a more common situation. So let’s explain what causes right ear pain?

Most cases of earache are caused by ear diseases, while a few are referred pain. First of all, we need to consider whether it is caused by inflammation. Acute or subacute inflammation caused by bacterial or viral infection in the ear, auricle, external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, tympanic cavity, etc. can cause ear pain to varying degrees. Inflammation of the pharynx often causes pulling pain in the ear canal. Secondly, some diseases of the teeth, mandibular joint, throat and other respiratory and digestive tract parts can cause reflex earache. For ear pain, you can go to the hospital in time to let the doctor check the condition of your ears, conduct a detailed examination, and receive symptomatic treatment under the doctor's guidance.

Ear care:

Points to note:

1/7 Step by step reading

Ear care maintains a good mental state. When people are emotionally excited or anxious, their adrenaline secretion increases, which can cause spasms in the small arteries of the inner ear. The blood flow in the small blood vessels slows down, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the inner ear and causing sudden deafness.

2/7

Ear health: Develop scientific eating habits. Eating more foods rich in zinc, iron, and calcium can reduce the deficiency of trace elements, thereby helping to dilate capillaries, improve blood supply to the inner ear, and prevent hearing loss;

3/7

For ear care, use with caution or avoid using drugs that are harmful to the auditory nerve. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are the ototoxic drugs that cause the most cochlear damage. Therefore, avoiding the abuse of this type of antibiotics is an important measure to reduce drug-induced deafness. Those with a family history of allergy to ototoxic drugs should use such drugs with caution;

4/7

Ear care: Avoid prolonged exposure to high-decibel noise. Long-term exposure to high-decibel noise can damage the auditory hair cells and the inner ear, leading to noise-induced hearing loss. The noise from the factory can cause occupational noise-induced deafness. You should try not to go to entertainment venues with loud noises, such as karaoke. You should also avoid listening to music with earplugs for a long time, otherwise it will cause hearing loss.

5/7

Ear care: Massage your ears frequently. Massage can promote blood circulation in the inner ear, such as massaging the auricle, pinching the earlobe, and massaging the Fengchi point in the depressions on both sides of the hairline at the back of the neck. You can also sit quietly with your eyes closed, insert your index fingers into your ear holes, then quickly pull them out, and repeat this 10 times.

6/7

Don't pick your ears. If you use improper force when cleaning your ears, it can easily cause damage and infection to the external auditory canal, leading to furunculosis, inflammation, and ulceration of the external auditory canal. When cleaning your ears, if you are not careful, the ear spoon may injure the eardrum or ossicles, causing perforation of the eardrum and affecting hearing.

7/7

Actively treat diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cerebral arteriosclerosis and diabetes. These diseases may cause ear lesions.
