Recently, Xiaoli (pseudonym) is returning home from the supermarket
Just as I was about to enter the door, I heard the child's heart-rending crying
In a hurry, he ran to the child with something to check the situation
It turned out that the 5-year-old baby was in the living room
Play with plasticine at home
Curious, I stuffed plasticine into my right ear
Uncomfortable, keep rubbing your ears with your hands
She dug her ears out of the house
It didn't come out
Instead, it pushed deeper and deeper
The ear canal was bleeding.

Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Center
Li Lijuan, an outpatient doctor, examined the right external ear canal
There was a pale pink foreign body very close to the eardrum
The posterior wall of the external auditory canal has been damaged and bleeding a little
Fortunately, there is a gap between the foreign body and the wall of the external auditory canal
Try to remove it with the help of a cerumen hook instrument
But the kids are small
Emotionally irritable, unwilling to cooperate, and constantly crying out in pain
Multiple times to reassure and communicate
Still failed
Consider that the child is small, so do not want the child to be under general anesthesia
Let the superior physician Dr. Liu Jun try again
In the end, it did not get what was hoped.
Admission is only possible
Under general anesthesia, Chief Physician Gao Zhuoping removed the foreign body
The foreign body has adhered to the external auditory canal
Director Gao carefully took it out little by little

Parents are hereby advised
