Whether it is pulling out the nose or the ears, this feeling of "pulling" is always addictive.
After a long time, it seems that a sense of ritual has been formed, and if you don't take it out every day, you can't feel energetic.
If you occasionally take a peek, you might as well.
But if it is always habitual, it is really not necessary.
Mom and Dad, kids really don't have to pluck their ears
Some mothers who love cleanliness, seeing that their children have ear feces in their ears, always want to pull it out, worried that too much ear feces will not be clean, which will affect the health of their children.
In fact, normal ear feces do not affect ear health.
It should be known that ear feces is formed by the normal secretion of sebaceous glands in the skin of the external ear canal, which forms a protective film in the ear canal, which can isolate microorganisms, small bugs and other external stimuli.
Generally speaking, if there is too much ear feces, it usually carries microorganisms, debris, and dust to fall off on its own.
Frequently pluck your ears and be careful to trigger otitis media
It should be known that the skin of the external auditory canal of children is still very delicate, and it is closely connected with the cartilage membrane, and if you are not careful when you pluck the ear, you may damage the external ear canal, or cause external ear canal infection and induce otitis media.
In fact, the cerumen in the ear is stored to a certain extent, and can fall off on its own through chewing and other behaviors, without the need to pluck the ear too often.
If the child has hearing loss due to excessive accumulation of cerumen, he should also go to a regular hospital for treatment by a doctor, and should not pluck his ears without authorization.
In addition to plucking out the ears, these behaviors can also induce otitis media in children
As a common ear lesion, children have a higher chance of developing otitis media than adults.
Otitis media will not only cause repeated pus in the ear, affecting the quality of life, but also affect hearing, and in severe cases, it can also cause intracranial and extracranial complications such as facial paralysis, meningitis, brain abscess, and even life-threatening.
Therefore, parents should pay attention to preventive measures in their lives, especially to avoid some wrong behaviors that can induce otitis media.
First, forced drug filling
Many children will refuse to take medicine when they are sick, and parents will force medicine in order to let their children take medicine, which is actually very unsafe.
Forced injection, it is easy to choke the trachea, make the child cough or even suffocate, and the drug may also enter the middle ear cavity through the Eustachian tube, thereby inducing otitis media.
Second, blow your nose too hard
When the child has a cold and a runny nose, many parents will pinch the child's nose to let him blow the nose hard, which is easy to make the gas in the nasopharynx enter the middle ear cavity through the Eustachian tube, causing tinnitus, and in severe cases, the nasal discharge with bacteria and viruses can enter the middle ear cavity and induce otitis media.
Therefore, it is best to block one side before blowing the nose, and then blow the other side.
Third, the feeding posture is incorrect
Infants and young children's Eustachian tube is relatively straight, and the lumen is shorter, some mothers will choose to lie down to feed their children, such a position is easy to make the milk through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear, inducing otitis media.
In addition, some children have the habit of lying down to drink water and eat snacks, which is also easy to induce otitis media.
Colds can also trigger otitis media
Many children's otitis media is caused by a cold, which is caused by the fact that nasal secretions tend to enter the Eustachian tube when the cold occurs, and the body's resistance decreases.
To prevent otitis media, first of all, to prevent colds, parents usually take children to participate in outdoor activities, enhance physical fitness, and pay attention to adding clothes in time according to changes in the weather.
In addition, inhalation of second-hand smoke can also induce otitis media, and parents should also pay attention to avoid smoking in front of their children. Parents should also carefully observe the child's auditory development, and if they find abnormalities, they should take the child to the hospital in time.
There is too much ear feces and it has not fallen, how to deal with it?
Some children secrete too much ear feces, which will inevitably block the ear canal and affect the hearing.
If the child is not feeling anything uncomfortable and hearing is not affected, then it can be ignored. However, if the child always feels that the ear feces block the ear is uncomfortable, always pull the ear, and do not use tools to pull it.
At this time, it is recommended to use an otolaryngologist to deal with it, do not try to use ear spoons, cotton swabs and other tools to pluck the ear, if the ear canal is damaged, it may cause external ear canal infection; if the eardrum is damaged, it may also affect the hearing.
In a word---- professional things, you have to leave it to professionals to do, and plucking your ears is no exception.
