How do little germs surf in their ears?


Our ears appear to be a relatively closed organ, but in fact they offer many opportunities for bacteria to breed and disrupt. Once the bacteria break into the ear, they can cause a series of discomforts and even serious diseases, and it is essential to understand the process of “floating” the bacteria in the ear to prevent and treat ear infections. The ears consist of three parts: the outside, the middle and the inner, whereas the most common area of bacteria is the outside and the center. Under normal circumstances, the skin of the outer ear is self-cleaning, with the glands on its surface circa (commonly known as ear shit), which binds to dust, bacteria, etc., and is naturally excreted from the outside ear by means of chewing, talking, etc., in order to maintain the cleanness and health of the outside ear. However, when special circumstances arise, bacteria become available. For example, after swimming or bathing, if there is no timely clean-up of the water left in the outer ear, the outer ear is in a damp environment, which creates ideal conditions for bacteria to breed. Common bacteria, such as golden grapes and streptococcus, are rapidly growing in this warm and humid environment. In addition, frequent ear-picking is a risk factor. Incorrect ear-picking can damage the skin of the outer ear, destroy its natural protective barrier and make bacteria more vulnerable to intrusion. When bacteria are proliferated in large quantities in the outer ear, they produce metabolites that can stimulate the skin of the outer ear and cause ecstasy. Patients suffer from external ear pains, itchings and increased secretions, which seriously affect the quality of life. If bacteria break through the outer ear line and further intrude into the middle ear, they may cause ear inflammation. Children are a high-prevalence group, as they have a shorter, wider and more flat larvae than adults, and bacteria are more likely to enter through the larynx. For example, when children catch cold, bacteria in the nasal cavity and larynx increase, and these bacteria can easily go up against the larvae and infect the middle ear. Once the bacteria are encamped in the middle ear, the inflammation of the membranes is triggered. Patients suffer from ear pain, loss of hearing, and may even experience whole-body symptoms such as fever and vomiting. In the absence of timely and effective treatment for ecstasy, it may also lead to severe consequences such as perforation of the drums and permanent hearing impairment. In addition, chronic diseases such as sinus inflammation and glands can affect normal physiology in the ear and increase the risk of bacterial infections. A sept secretion in the nasal cavity of a snorting patient may flow back to the nasal throat, then enter the mid ear through the larvae, causing infection in the middle ear. Large gland is a barrier to the opening of the larvae, which affects the air flow and flow of the medium ear, prevents the normal discharge of liquids in the middle ear and provides a hotbed for bacteria. In order to prevent the bacteria from “floating” in their ears, we need good ear hygiene. After swimming or bathing, clean towels should be used in a timely manner to smooth out external ear lanes and to drain water; to avoid frequent rinsing of ears, using soft, clean tools if necessary for cleaning, and be careful to move softly; and to actively treat related diseases such as cold, nasal inflammation and reduce the chance of bacterial infections in the ear. At the same time, increased self-immunization helps to protect against bacterial invasions and to maintain the health of the ears.
