sometimes
We don't just have ear droppings in our ears
After all, it is open 24 hours a day
So don't rule out some small things crawling into it
For example: spiders, cockroaches, moths and so on...
If there is
Not long ago, Grandma Wang arrived
The Department of Otolaryngology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University was treated.
After detailed questioning by the receiving doctor, it was learned that
Grandma Wang has often felt discomfort in her ears for 4 years.
But there was no timely visit.
Until a few days ago,
Her right ear began to itch again,
There is also recurrent paroxysmal pain.
The doctor on duty shined a flashlight on Grandma Wang's right ear,
Its ears were found filled with "white yarn strips".
A closer look revealed that
These "white yarn strips" will actually "squirm" on their own!
It turned out that these were yarn-like things
It turned out to be live fly maggots,
And there are quite a few!
After the doctor asked Grandma Wang to complete other examinations,
Decided to remove it first
live maggots clogged in the ear canal,
Then do a systematic etiological analysis
and develop an effective diagnosis and treatment plan for travel,
Tackle the disease at its root.
So the doctor immediately under the endoscopy of the screen ear
professional processing,
About 20 live fly maggots were removed!
Physicians in otolaryngology
Detailed review of Grandma Wang's medical records,
After analysis,
Found the reason why Grandma Wang has maggots in her right ear -
There are lesions in the ear canal and tympanic chamber of Grandma Wang's right ear,
Causing repeated pus flow in his right ear,
attracted fly bites to lay eggs,
This eventually results in live fly maggots parasitizing in the ear canal
(Maggot disease in clinical practice).
After finding the cause,
The doctor performed symptomatic treatment for Grandma Wang,
After a series of treatments,
Grandma Wang was successfully discharged from the hospital.
Doctor's Reminder:
Personal hygiene should be paid attention to in daily life,
Pay special attention to ear hygiene for the elderly and children.
Patients with "purulent otitis media"
Ear care should be strengthened and timely consultation should be made.
Then if the worm accidentally enters the ear canal
How do we deal with it?
Doctors recommend that medical assistance should be sought as soon as possible. If there is indeed a lack of medical conditions, vegetable oil and cooking oil can be dripped into the external ear canal (of course, in the case of intact eardrum and no inflammation of the ear canal), so that the activity of the insect body is limited and try to face down the ear hole, so that the insect body flows out with the oil. If it is a flying insect such as a moth or a mosquito entering the ear, you can use a flashlight in the dark to illuminate the opening of the external ear canal to urge it to climb out on its own. In the case that the worm is still alive, remember not to blindly take it out by yourself, in order to prevent it from being stimulated by violent channeling and damaging the eardrum.
Also if a foreign body is found in the ear
Medical facilities should be visited as soon as possible
Don't dig blindly on your own
so as not to damage the external auditory canal
Or push the foreign body deep!
