TREATMENTs at Navjivan - Earache
Earache is very common medical problem for both children and adults. The pain of earache results from inflammation and swelling of the structures that make up the ear, including the external auditory canal, the tympanic membrane, and the middle ear. Myringitis is an inflammation of the tympanic membrane or ear drum.
Otitis externa is a skin infection of the outer ear canal. It is the area where was forms and often occurs after swimming (commonly referred to as swimmer's ear).
Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear and eardrum commonly seen in infants and younger children. Otitis media also may affect older children and adults.
Earache Causes
Otitis externa is commonly caused by trapped moisture in the ear canal or by minor injury to the ear canal.
Risk factors for otitis externa include:
- Moisture trapped in the ear canal
- The condition commonly called swimmer's ear can occur after swimming, bathing, or hot humid weather.
- Bacteria that cause the infection are able to grow and multiply easily in the warm moist environment.
Rarely, the infection may be caused by a fungus.
- Minor injury or scrape to the ear canal skin
- This usually happens during attempts to clean the ear with objects, such as a cotton-tipped swab or paper clip. This break in the skin may allow bacteria to enter and start an infection.
