Perforated ear infection may lead to otitis media, but not all perforated ear infections will cause otitis media.
If patients experience discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Perforated ear infection is usually caused by poor local care after piercing the ears, or bad habits such as frequently touching or picking the ears after piercing, leading to bacterial infection. If the patient does not receive timely treatment, the inflammation may spread to the tympanic membrane, thus inducing otitis media. In addition, if the patient suffers from chronic diseases such as rhinitis and sinusitis, bacteria may enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube, thus inducing otitis media.
If the patient experiences the above situation, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo anti-infective treatment with amoxicillin capsules, cefixime capsules, and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, patients can also use external medications such as ofloxacin ear drops and lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops as prescribed by the doctor. If necessary, patients can also undergo surgical treatment. It is recommended that patients maintain local cleanliness and hygiene in daily life, avoid scratching the affected area to prevent aggravation of the condition. In terms of diet, it is recommended to maintain a light, digestible, and balanced diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods such as chili and Sichuan peppercorns. If there are significant discomfort symptoms or worsening symptoms during the period, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
