We all know that many parents generally do not pick earwax for their children when they are young, because parents think that if they do not use enough force, it is likely to cause otitis media or rupture of the eardrum. In fact, it is not good for children to pick their ears frequently. However, some parents will find some transparent things in their children's ears. So what are the transparent things in children's ears? The human eardrum is originally a very thin translucent membrane, especially the eardrum of children is more fragile than that of adults. Once it is hurt by external force, it is easy to cause damage to the eardrum, resulting in perforation of the eardrum. In severe cases, it may even affect hearing. Therefore, many parents are very worried. Can a child's eardrum heal itself if it is broken?Can a ruptured eardrum heal on its own? As long as there is no secondary infection and the area of the hole is not too large, the eardrum perforation caused by trauma will usually heal on its own in about a month and no additional treatment is required. However, it should be noted that during the healing process, the external auditory canal must be kept dry and clean, and water, flushing or medication are prohibited to avoid otitis media. Once otitis media occurs, it will be troublesome and the perforated eardrum can only be healed after otitis media is treated. However, if the perforation of the eardrum is caused by chronic otitis media, in addition to symptoms of ear leakage and hearing impairment, there is also the risk of forming cholesteatoma, so it is necessary to repair it. A ruptured eardrum can be repaired using the fascia of the temporal muscle next to the ear, with a success rate of over 90%. This myringoplasty or tympanoplasty can eliminate ear leakage and improve hearing.
Generally speaking, when the eardrum ruptures, a small amount of blood may flow out of the patient's external auditory canal. At the same time, the patient may suddenly feel ear pain, hearing loss, tinnitus, a small amount of bleeding, and a feeling of occlusion. The strong vibration may also cause damage to the inner ear, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. The eardrum is an important part of the human sound conduction system. Therefore, parents should be careful when taking care of their children. Do not pick their children's ears at will, and do not talk or play sounds that are too loud or high. This can easily cause the eardrum to rupture. Therefore, if a child is found to have symptoms of discomfort, treatment should be sought as soon as possible to avoid damage to the child's hearing. |
