What are the reasons for sudden bloody discharge in otitis media?

Generally, the sudden discharge of bloody fluid in patients with otitis media is often considered to be caused by tympanic membrane perforation. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Causes:

Due to repeated irritation by inflammation, the Eustachian tube dysfunction occurs, preventing mucus from being expelled from the body, thus forming purulent secretions that can block the ear. When forcibly blowing the nose, the purulent secretions inside are squeezed out, causing bleeding.

Symptoms:

If suffering from acute suppurative otitis media, there will be severe pain and hearing loss. Severe cases may also lead to fever, dizziness, and other discomforts. If it is chronic simple or hypertrophic otitis media, it can cause symptoms such as tinnitus and闷胀感 (a sensation of fullness or pressure in the ear). Additionally, if it is cholesteatoma otitis media, it can lead to facial paralysis, vertigo, and other conditions.

Treatment:

For this disease, antibiotics can be prescribed to control the infection, such as Amoxicillin Capsules or Cefixime Dispersible Tablets. Additionally, Oxytetracycline Ear Drops can be used to alleviate the condition. Surgical methods, such as mastoidectomy or tympanoplasty, may be necessary in severe cases. In daily life, it is important to take warmth measures to avoid catching a cold and aggravating the condition. The diet should be mainly light and easy to digest, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the body's nutritional needs, which is beneficial to health.
