Normally, there are many lymph nodes around people's ears. When patients have local inflammation, such as tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract infection, acute pharyngitis or gingivitis, sometimes the ears are involved, resulting in inflammation and pain of lymph nodes. Clinically, it is necessary to make a clear diagnosis and actively treat the primary disease. Generally speaking, oral antibiotics are needed, and cephalosporins are more sensitive. But before taking the medicine, it must be clear whether the patient has a history of allergic reaction to cephalosporins. Another situation is that if the patient's auricle is damaged or squeezed, it may lead to auricle perichondritis, and such patients will also have earache. Moreover, auricles generally have symptoms of redness and swelling, which will be better diagnosed in clinic.

How is the earache? There are many reasons for earache, such as otitis media, otitis externa, folliculitis, infection, neuropathic pain, and something growing in the ear (tumor), which may all cause earache. Pain is just a symptom, and you can't judge what disease it is by simple pain symptoms. If the ear keeps hurting, you need to go to the hospital. Many diseases can cause ear pain, such as otitis media. If time is delayed, the eardrum will rupture, which may affect hearing.

If accompanied by tinnitus, pus and other symptoms, consider otitis media. If the above symptoms appear, you need to seek medical advice in time.

In fact, there are many reasons for earache. For example, from the external auditory canal, if there is too much earwax in the external auditory canal, it will hurt if it is flooded, infected and inflamed. If you shovel it with a hard ear, it will hurt, even for a long time. External auditory canal injury or infection can hurt. Another one, such as otitis media, suppurative otitis media and suppurative infection, will also hurt. Of course, there are many earaches, not related to the ear, but neuralgia. Such as neuropathic pain in the ear canal. It is manifested as ear pain, but in fact this kind of pain is jumping pain, mostly nerve pain, not the ear itself.

When otitis externa is not treated in time, or when it is old and weak, suffering from diabetes, or when the skin of the ear canal is soaked in water for a long time and the skin surface resistance is weakened, it is easy to cause furuncle of the ear canal. Furuncle will gradually swell and fester, blocking the ear canal and aggravating the pain.

There are many reasons for earache. Otitis media, otitis externa, folliculitis, infection, neuropathic pain and something growing in the ear may all cause earache. Pain is just a symptom, and you can't judge what disease it is by simple pain symptoms. If the ear keeps hurting, you need to go to the hospital.

Hello, according to the symptoms of your earache, it is more likely to consider otitis media. In general, otitis media can cause severe pain in patients' ears. If the symptoms get worse, it may affect their hearing function. I suggest you go to the hospital for a specific examination in time, adjust your mentality, rest more, improve your mood and actively treat.

Hello! Otolaryngology Lao Mo gives you advice! Recently, a patient came to the hospital. The ear canal has been hurting for a month. There is no damage to the ear, and there is no inflammation and suppuration. He was forced to come to the hospital for help.

Why is there pain in the ear canal? Lao Mo analyzes several reasons for you:

1, auricular neuralgia: There are many nerves around the ear, which will cause ear canal pain due to external stimuli.

2, blindly digging ears: Many people dig their ears with nails, cotton swabs, matchsticks and other items because their ears are itchy or uncomfortable, leading to ear damage, skin infection and even otitis externa, which will lead to earache.

3, ear herpes: this situation is more common on the auricle, it will cause pain similar to acupuncture or burning, and it will also cause hearing loss, nausea and vomiting, facial paralysis and so on.

4, acute otitis media: this situation will lead to suppuration of the ear cavity, close to the eardrum, thus causing pain.

Of course, there are other reasons, so I won't go into them. In short, it's best to go to the hospital for an examination to confirm the cause of earache, and then carry out targeted treatment. I hope Lao Mo's answer is helpful to you, thank you!

Going to the hospital for examination does not rule out the possibility of otitis media.
