As the eustachian tube of children is not yet mature, otitis media is a common disease with a high incidence rate in this group. The distention and pain in the ear area at the time of onset will cause frequent scratching of the ear, irritability and other emotions, which will make parents feel distressed. So, what are the reasons why pediatric otitis media has always been poor?
Chronic otitis media in children may be caused by poor immune function. When bacteria and other microorganisms invade the eustachian tube and cause infection, it will lead to the onset of otitis media in children. If their own immunity is poor, they are vulnerable to colds or other respiratory infectious diseases, which will lead to bacteria and viruses breeding in the body and continue to invade the middle ear, thus making it difficult to recover from repeated diseases.
Poor living environment is also one of the common factors that lead to recurrent and difficult to cure symptoms. Parents often smoke around their children, and poor indoor ventilation can affect the living environment, leading to the proliferation of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, which in turn can affect the child's condition and prolong the course of the disease. In addition, failure to adhere to medication and affect treatment effectiveness can also lead to prolonged treatment of otitis media in children.
Some children may experience worsening conditions due to factors such as adenoid hypertrophy and excessive viscosity of middle ear secretions. It is recommended to undergo timely laryngoscopy to determine the cause and receive active treatment. At the same time, regular window ventilation should be maintained to keep indoor air fresh. It is important to take children outdoors for exercise to enhance immunity and follow medical advice to take medication in a standardized manner, which can help to better cure the disease.
