Mr. Yu (28 years old) came to the No. 1 People’s Hospital in Hangzhou, China with an uncomfortable itchy ear condition. The person who directly examined him was Dr. Li Yong, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology. At first the doctor found this condition not surprising. However, after hearing the patient tell the truth, he was shocked and exclaimed: “How can it be endured for such a long time?”
It is known that Mr. Yu has a history of chronic otitis media since he was a child, currently there is still fluid in his left ear. At home, he still uses a bottle of ear drops.
About half a year ago, Mr. Yu’s left ear showed signs of bleeding. Thinking that his old illness had recurred, he made a habit of finding a bottle of ear drops in the house to use. However, as soon as he used it, he felt that his left ear was extremely uncomfortable. At this time, looking back, he realized that what he was holding in his hand was not ear drops but a bottle of 502 glue.
When the incident happened, although he felt very uncomfortable in his ears, he still tried to endure it instead of going to the hospital. He continued to suffer for more than half a year, until the condition became serious, the ear began to drain more pus, secreting a yellowish-white liquid, then Yu would go to the hospital for examination.
The young man mistook the 502 glue bottle for ear drops.
After a detailed examination, Dr. Li Yong discovered that there was a white solid deep in the auditory tube in Mr. Yu’s left ear, it was firmly attached to the skin, the eardrum showed signs of perforation. “This solid is 502 glue that hardens in the ear canal, which needs to be cleaned up immediately,” said Dr. Li Yong.
After that, Dr. Li performed endoscopic removal of the foreign body through the ear with a minimally invasive method, carefully separated the 502 glue layer in the external auditory tube, and cleaned the entire ear canal. After the surgery, Mr. Yu’s health recovered well, the fluid in his left ear stopped flowing.
Sharing about the above case, Dr. Li Yong said that the patient should be treated from the beginning instead of arbitrarily using ear drops at home.
Also according to Dr. Li Yong, chronic otitis media is usually caused by acute-onset otitis media, the disease progresses slowly due to many reasons. There are also some cases due to poor resistance of patients such as children and the elderly, leading to chronic prolonged condition.
If you have otitis media with discharge, do not subjectively buy ear drops like Mr. Yu because it can make the disease more serious. Dr. Li Yong added, Mr. Yu’s case is very special, in addition to otitis media, there is also a foreign body in the ear.
In fact, similar incidents like the one above are not uncommon. On October 22, 2015, Mr. Song Wan (45 years old, living in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China) had to rush to the hospital in pajamas when he discovered that he had just put 502 glue in his ear by mistake. left.
The doctor examines Mr. Song Wan.
Previously, due to an ear infection, Mr. Song Wan was so itchy that he couldn’t sleep. To end the annoying itch, Mr. Wan “closed his eyes” with a small bottle of water within reach and put it in his ear. Unfortunately for him, however, the bottle of water he thought were ear drops was actually a bottle of 502 super glue.
After examining, the doctor said that Mr. Song Wan needed to wait a week for the glue to dry. The membranes in the ear will then also secrete mucus, forming a protective layer between the 502 glue and Mr. Wan’s eardrum. If the glue is removed too soon, Mr. Wan may become deaf because of a torn eardrum.
A week later, Mr. Wan’s left ear was successfully “rescued” by doctors and he was able to hear normally again after a week of being nearly deaf.
From the above facts, Dr. Li Yong recommends that everyone should pay attention when using medicine, especially families with young children, need to keep 502 glue out of reach of children. right place in right place.
In case 502 glue gets into the eyes or ears, seek immediate medical attention. If an insect enters the ear, do not arbitrarily put the medicine in, when the bugs are alive, the drops will make them uncomfortable and bite into the ear, which can lead to perforation of the eardrum and hearing loss.
