Tooth and ear pain are considered one of the most horrible is not accidental. First, the painful sensations do not allow to be distracted by anything else; secondly, it is not always possible to cope with them even with the help of the most powerful painkillers. That's why if you have an earache inside, it's better not to delay and immediately make an appointment with an otolaryngologist. The causes of the appearance of pain can be very much. Moreover, some of them with ENT organs are completely unrelated.
Why does the ear ache inside?
Speech, of course, is not about the pain that can appear when cleaning the ears. Painful sensations caused by too strong or sharp pressure on the inner walls of the ear or tympanic membranes quickly disappear (unless the pressure was so strong as to leave behind any injuries, cracks, abrasions).
It is quite another matter if the ear hurts inside for no apparent reason. This symptom may indicate such problems:
- One of the most common causes of ear pain is inflammation of the ear - otitis . In addition, that the otitis is very painful in the otitis, pus appears in the auditory canals. The disease can develop autonomously or against the background of colds, flu, sore throats.
- Worse, if the cause of pain in the ear was acute otitis. This ailment develops against the background of incorrect or not completely cured infectious diseases. Painful lumbago in the ear is usually accompanied by heat.
- In the ear canals can develop a fungal infection - otomycosis. In this case, the ear inside hurts and itches very annoyingly. In many patients with otomycosis, the ears become inflamed and redden.
- Sometimes the pain appears due to the accumulation of sulfur in the ear canals. Usually, this problem is accompanied by a worsening of hearing. If the sulfur is produced in insufficient quantities, the ear can whine and be strongly flaky.
- Pain inside the ear is sometimes a sign of tooth decay. Severe inflammation is characterized by aching pain, which is aggravated by pressing on the tooth. Often, the pain caused by tooth decay, spread not only on the ear, but also on the temple, neck.
- The parasitic insects, such as the ear mite, can cause pain and discomfort in the ears. Because of him, small red dots appear on the shells.
- In some people, the ears begin to ache as a result of an allergic reaction. An allergen can become a fabric of a headdress, a metal of earrings, a shampoo or any other means for hair.
- If the ear inside is swollen and sore, it's better to hurry to visit an otolaryngologist. Basically, cones in the ears are fatties or the consequences of injuries. But neglect the tumor is not worth it - a small chance that the tumor is malignant, there is always.
- If the ear is very sore inside, and while it is oozing fluid, most likely, the cause is in pimples or eczema. They appear because of non-observance of elementary hygienic norms - for one who does not even clean his ears, or uses inappropriate for these purposes sharp objects.
Than to treat ears, if they hurt inside?
Curing the ear yourself is very difficult. Not knowing the true cause of the pain, choosing the appropriate treatment is not realistic. The problem is that methods suitable for the treatment of otitis, for example, can only do harm with acute otitis. Therefore, experts strongly recommend that pain in the ears do something only after consulting them.
The main methods of treatment are instillations, compresses and warming up of the ears. If the pain is a consequence of an allergy, for the recovery it is necessary to drink antihistamines . And with otomycosis, only antifungal agents can help. Antibiotics for the treatment of pain in the ears are prescribed only in cases of bacterial infection.
