Treatment of ear fungal infection

Fungal infections often occur in sensitive parts of the body, most commonly the vagina, urinary system, and ears. Because the weather is getting hotter, water gets into the ears when taking a shower. If you don't clean it properly, it can lead to fungal otitis. You need to find out the cause and give corresponding medication treatment.

Causes

Fungal otitis externa is caused by fungal infection. The main causes of the disease are decreased body resistance, picking ears with unclean objects, long-term systemic use of antibiotics or ear drops of antibiotics. The symptoms include itchy and watery ears, and when combined with infection, ear pain, redness and swelling. If you experience the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Fungal otitis externa is prone to recurrence. Medication should be used for at least one week, the ear canal should be kept dry, and the habit of ear digging should be stopped. At the same time, antibiotics should be used reasonably to reduce recurrence.

symptom

Experts say that the main symptoms of fungal otitis externa are itchy ears, discomfort in the ears, and watery secretions. When the secretions block the ear canal, hearing is affected. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay attention to keeping the external auditory canal clean, tidy and comfortable. When examining fungal otitis externa, white, gray, yellow or black membranous substance, i.e. fungal moss, can be seen in the ear canal, which becomes a scab-like substance when dry. Like other fungal skin diseases, fungal otitis externa is more stubborn and prone to relapse after recovery, so drugs with high sensitivity should be selected.

Common symptoms of fungal otitis externa:

1. Acute external otitis causes burning, pain, and earache in the external auditory canal. In severe cases, it is accompanied by fever, discomfort, and swollen lymph nodes around the ear. Examination may reveal diffuse congestion and swelling of the external auditory canal. In severe cases, the external auditory canal may be narrowed and the skin may ulcerate.

2. Chronic otitis externa causes discomfort and itching in the external auditory canal, with a small amount of secretions. Patients with a long course of the disease may suffer hearing loss due to thickening of the skin in the external auditory canal. Some chronic otitis externa accompanied by severe itching should be distinguished from fungal otitis externa.

Treatment

Commonly used drugs for the treatment of fungal otitis externa:

(1) Apply or drip into the ear 10 % methyl salicylate [non], 1%~2% thymol alcohol [non], and 1:5000 phenylmercuric acetate [place] 2~3 times a day for several days, and then treat for several days every 2 weeks to prevent recurrence.

(2) You can use nystatin ointment [place], 1% clotrimazole ointment [non], amphotericin B ointment [place], and apply it topically.

(3) Use a mixture of equal amounts of sulfamethoxazole and boric acid to spray onto the wound in the external auditory canal.

Otitis externa ear microscopy technology + CZT-8F acoustic resonance system

1. (Otoendoscopic examination) Imported otoendoscopy is used to carefully examine ear lesions. One of the keys to ensuring the safety of the operation is to fully expose the surgical field of view.

2. (High treatment accuracy) Using ear microscopy technology to locate lesions deep in and hidden parts of the ear can effectively reduce the difficulty and risk of treatment and improve the accuracy of treatment. [1]

3. (Pure physical therapy is safe and efficient) The three-dimensional superposition resonance treatment mechanism formed by the fully computer-controlled ultrasound and medium and low frequency bio-electromagnetic waves is a combination of natural physical factors such as sound, frequency, heat, electricity, magnetism, and micro-massage that are superimposed and penetrated into the lesion, forming a three-dimensional effect of audio-frequency resonance and physical and chemical superposition. Combining multiple therapeutic factors such as drug penetration, music therapy, acupoint guidance, etc. can accelerate blood circulation, eliminate inflammation, improve hearing, and achieve the purpose of curing otitis media and otitis externa.
