What to do if your ears become inflamed during breastfeeding

Everyone knows that for the sake of their own and their babies' health, mothers cannot take many things, including medicines, during the breastfeeding period. Generally, ear inflammation should consider diseases such as otitis media. If the condition is not serious, you can deal with it yourself at home. Use a sterilized iodine cotton ball to clean and wipe the inside of the ear. If the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment, find out the cause and understand the situation, and follow the doctor's arrangements.

Question 1 considers otitis media, one type of which is suppurative otitis media, which is mostly caused by colds. Initially, the ear pain is obvious and presents as a swollen pain with possible fever. The pain is relieved after the eardrum is perforated and pus is discharged. The other type is called non-suppurative otitis media. This type of otitis media does not cause pus discharge, but only causes stuffiness in the ears, hearing loss, or tinnitus. This is caused by inflammation of the Eustachian tube, which causes changes in pressure in the middle ear cavity. The treatment of suppurative otitis media is: if conditions permit, perform pus culture and drug sensitivity test, and select antibiotics based on the test results, either orally or by injection. Local ear: If the amount of pus is large and thick, clean it with hydrogen peroxide and then use sensitive antibiotic ear drops. If it is non-suppurative otitis media, the main thing is to reduce the edema of the Eustachian tube, use nasal drops, anti-edema drugs, etc., and use antibiotics appropriately.
