In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the increased secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body, women's physical condition will undergo significant changes. In addition to the common morning sickness reaction, some pregnant women may also discover swelling behind their ears in the early stages. So, what should be done if there is swelling behind their ears in the early stages of pregnancy?
1. Sebaceous gland cyst: Sebaceous gland cysts usually occur in the ear, especially in the earlobe area. Usually, if the back of the ear is swollen but the symptoms are not obvious, anti-inflammatory treatment can be carried out. Pay attention to regulation in daily life, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and do not touch it frequently, otherwise it may lead to inflammation of sebaceous gland cysts. Pay attention to hygiene, and when washing your face, also clean the outer contour of your ears. If there are abnormalities in sebaceous gland cysts, do not handle them yourself. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment. If the situation is severe, excision treatment can be performed.
2. Lymph node enlargement: If it is lymph node inflammation, symptoms of lymph node enlargement may occur. Usually caused by surrounding diseases, such as scalp infections or otitis media, lymph node enlargement is usually located on the surface of bones and subcutaneous tissue behind the ear. The main reasons for lymph node enlargement are viral and bacterial infections, which are caused by the immune system's efforts to kill the virus after infection.
As long as the human immune system kills the virus, the symptoms of lymph node enlargement can disappear on their own, so treatment is generally not necessary. If necessary, anti-inflammatory treatment can be carried out appropriately according to medical advice. It is important to rest regularly and supplement with vitamin C appropriately.
