Drops in the ears

The causes of most problems with the ears are infections (external, inner and middle ear), deafness (congenital or developed with time), and the formation of earwax plugs. All pathologies can also be divided into congenital, resulting from trauma, as well as from common diseases. It is necessary to list some of them. Otosclerosis - a violation of the functions of the three main ossicles of the middle ear, are treated only surgically. Ménière's disease is a disease of the inner ear. Middle otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear. Furunculosis - inflammation of the external ear. Otomycosis is a disease caused by pathogenic fungi that have affected the external auditory canal. Labyrinthitis - internal otitis media.

Very common problems that are caused by infections of the outer and middle ear. They occur when bacteria from the nasopharynx enter the eustachian tubes in the middle ear. Most often, otitis media is seen in small children, most of them are sick before the age of three. Otitis can develop at different rates and is divided into acute and chronic. As a result, an inflammatory exudate is formed in the ear, and purulent or catarrhal otitis is distinguished by its nature . For treatment use, including, and drops in ears for children. For example, the drug "Sanguirritin" drips 1-2 drops to children up to 4 times a day with chronic purulent otitis. With external otitis injected turuns, moistened with the drug, into the ear canal. The active substance is sanguirithrin, its concentration is 0.2% in ethanol with a mass fraction of 95% in purified water.

At the slightest appearance of pain in the ear, especially in young children, you should immediately consult a doctor, since there is a risk of developing meningitis or an abscess of the brain. They treat the disease with antibiotics, but the doctor can also prescribe drops in the ears at the otitis. For example, the drug "AANURAN" is used for acute and chronic external otitis, as well as for otitis media. Drip the preparation with a special pipette into the ear canal up to 4 times a day. When chronic and acute otitis is also prescribed boric acid, which treat days 5, digging 3 times a day for 3-5 drops.

If there is a need for their appointment, the question of the immediate cessation of the child's breast-feeding should be resolved. In addition, there are side effects that can be expressed by local irritation, photodermatitis, allergic reaction. Therefore, the drug is not prescribed for hypersensitivity to its components.

Also, droplets in the ears are used for problems associated with the formation of plugs due to the intense release of earwax, released in the external ear by the passage. The separation process itself is considered normal, as it is a natural lubricant, as well as a way to protect against ingress of pathogenic microorganisms into the ear and the removal of particles of dead skin and bacteria. Children have more sulfur, and it moves faster. With aging of the body, this process slows down, as a result of a large accumulation, cork formation and deterioration of hearing can occur. In addition, because of the blockage of the ear canal, microbes from the nasopharynx can penetrate into the middle ear and provoke inflammation. Therefore, you should consult a doctor who removes the stopper, and for prevention prescribes drops in the ears, which will help soften the earwax and remove it.
