The causes of most problems with the ears are infections (outer, inner and middle ears), deafness (congenital or developed over time), as well as the formation of plugs from earwax. All pathologies can also be divided into congenital, resulting from injuries, as well as from common diseases. Some of them should be listed. Otosclerosis is a violation of the functions of the three main bones of the middle ear, treated only surgically. Meniere's disease is a disease of the inner ear. Otitis media - inflammation of the middle ear. Furunculosis is an inflammation of the outer ear. Otomycosis is a disease caused by pathogenic fungi that have affected the external auditory canal. Labyrinthitis is an internal otitis media. Treatment in all these cases can only be prescribed by a doctor after the diagnosis is established. With some pathologies, drops in the ears are used, they also can not be used without consulting a doctor, especially for young children.
Problems that are caused by infections of the outer and middle ear are very common. They occur when pathogenic bacteria from the nasopharynx enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tubes. Most often, otitis media is observed in young children, most of them are ill before the age of three. Otitis can develop at different speeds and is divided into acute and chronic. As a result, an inflammatory exudate is formed in the ear, purulent or catarrhal otitis is distinguished by its nature. For treatment use, including drops in the ears for children. For example, the drug "SANGVIRITRIN" is dripped 1-2 drops in children up to 4 times a day for chronic suppurative otitis media. With otitis externa, turunds moistened with the drug are injected into the ear canal. The active substance is sanguirythrin, 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 brain abscess. They treat the disease with antibiotics, but also the doctor can prescribe drops in the ears for otitis media. For example, the drug "ANAURAN" is used for acute and chronic external otitis media, as well as for otitis media. The drug is dripped with a special pipette into the ear canal up to 4 times a day. In chronic and acute otitis media, boric acid is also prescribed, which is treated for 5 days, instilled 3 to 5 drops 3 times a day.
In case of a fungal infection of the external auditory meatus (otomycosis), drops in the ears of NITROFUNGIN are prescribed. The drug goes on sale in bottles of dark glass with a volume of 25 ml and a concentration of the active substance equal to 1%. 1 ml of the drug contains 10 mg of chloronitrophenol. Auxiliary components are ethanol with a concentration of 96%, purified water and triethylene glycol. During pregnancy and lactation of young children, these drops in the ears can not be used. If there is a need for their appointment, then the issue of the immediate cessation of breastfeeding should be resolved. In addition, there are side effects that can be expressed by local irritation, photodermatitis, an allergic reaction. Therefore, the drug is not prescribed for hypersensitivity to its components.
Drops in the ears are also used for problems associated with the formation of plugs in connection with the intensive allocation of earwax emitted in the external ear canal. The isolation process itself is considered normal, as it is a natural lubricant, as well as a way to protect against pathogenic microorganisms from entering the ear and removing particles of dead skin and bacteria. In children, more sulfur is released, and it moves faster. As the body ages, this process slows down, as a result of a large accumulation, cork formation and hearing impairment can occur. In addition, due to blockage of the ear canal, germs from the nasopharynx can penetrate the middle ear and provoke inflammation. Therefore, you should consult a doctor who will remove the cork, and for prevention will prescribe drops in the ears, which will help soften the earwax and remove it. Often used the drug "Earex Plus Ear Drops", is available in bottles with a capacity of 10 ml, contains choline salicylate (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and moisturizing glycerin. Drops soften earwax and facilitate its removal.
