Ear pain inside the ear may be caused by otitis media, or diseases such as external otitis, tympanic membrane perforation, and cerumen embolism. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital promptly for diagnosis after relevant examinations.
1. Otitis media: It is usually caused by bacterial or viral infection, or may be caused by dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which can lead to symptoms such as ear pain, hearing loss, and tinnitus, and may also be accompanied by pain inside the ear. Therefore, ear pain inside the ear may be otitis media.
2. External otitis: It is usually caused by pathogen infection, or may be induced by frequent ear picking and swimming, which may lead to symptoms such as skin itching, pain, and swelling, and may also cause local skin erosion and desquamation. In severe cases, it may cause ear pain inside the ear.
3. Tympanic membrane perforation: Tympanic membrane perforation is mainly caused by trauma or acute suppurative otitis media, which can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and pus discharge, and may also be accompanied by ear pain inside the ear.
4. Cerumen embolism: If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene or fail to clean the secretions inside the ear for a long time, a large amount of cerumen may accumulate in the ear canal to form an embolism, leading to cerumen embolism and causing ear pain inside the ear. If there are diseases such as cholesteatoma otitis media, they may also manifest as the above symptoms.
