3. How to prevent otitis media

Preventing colds is a proactive measure to prevent otitis media. If you have a cold, do not pinch your nostrils and blow your nose, because this will increase the pressure in the nose and pharynx, allowing mucus and bacteria to enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube. The snot can be sucked back and spit out through the mouth, or a handkerchief can be placed in the front nostril to gently blow it out; you can also gently pinch one front nostril and gently blow out the snot in the open nasal cavity on the opposite side.

Nasal and nasopharyngeal diseases should be treated promptly and appropriately. Children with hypertrophic leukemia should be treated early. When you have an acute infectious disease such as measles, you should pay more attention to the cleanliness of your oral and nasal cavities to prevent otitis media.

Improper nose blowing while swimming, or improper techniques when diving or backswimming can cause water to enter the middle ear through the nasal cavity. If a beginner in diving does not master the head posture well and jumps with his ears facing the water, he may rupture his eardrum. Therefore, you must pay attention to the correct posture when swimming to prevent eardrum rupture and middle ear inflammation. Do not use sharp objects (such as hairpins, wool needles, etc.) to dig your ears to avoid injuring the eardrum. It is best to give up the habit of picking your ears.

Patients with acute suppurative otitis media should be given timely and appropriate treatment to prevent it from becoming chronic. Patients with chronic suppurative otitis media should be correctly diagnosed and treated to prevent intracranial complications.

We must have a certain understanding of the harmfulness of suppurative otitis media and pay attention to the early symptoms of serious complications, such as ear disease accompanied by headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, etc. When there is suspected ear-related intracranial complications, medical treatment should be sought early to avoid delaying the disease.
