What causes pus discharge from children's ears?

In childhood, ear discharge and inflammation are quite common, which are mostly related to some respiratory or nasopharyngeal diseases, such as colds, fever, pharyngitis, rhinitis, etc., which are easy to cause such symptoms. In addition, if you do not pay attention to ear waterproofing when swimming, it is easy to induce bacteria to enter the ear canal, which can easily lead to otitis media. In addition, external forces can also easily induce such symptoms.

1. Respiratory tract and nasopharyngeal diseases

Cold, rhinitis, pharyngitis, etc. The middle ear is connected to the nose and pharyngeal tube. When there are a large number of bacteria in the nasopharynx, these pathogens can easily enter the ear. Therefore, when your baby has a cold, pay special attention to whether there are any abnormalities in his ears.

2. Swimming

When swimming, if there are many people in the swimming pool and cleaning is not done well, the bacteria or disinfectants in the water will enter the child's body through the nose and mouth, causing a cold and then otitis media.

3. Fatigue

Lack of sleep or excessive physical exertion are the main causes of decreased immunity. A regular life, a balanced diet and adequate exercise are very important for maintaining health. So, don't let your child play too hard, and make sure he gets enough rest.

4. Collective life

In kindergarten, children's chances of being exposed to cold germs or viruses are greatly increased, thereby increasing the possibility of otitis media.

5. Treatment interruption

Usually, the symptoms of acute otitis media will be relieved or even disappear after taking medicine for a few days. At this time, do not judge that the child is well and stop taking medicine and treatment. Stopping treatment midway is one of the reasons why acute otitis media does not heal for a long time or even turns into a chronic disease.

6. Frequent ear digging

Failure to pay attention to ear canal hygiene and frequent ear digging may cause otitis media in children.
