The weather has been relatively warm in the past two days, so beware of flying insects and cockroaches. Recently, a small strong (cockroach) crawled into a man's ear, and he got goosebumps when he heard it...
This is the cockroach that the doctor of the Department of Otolaryngology of Nanjing Second Hospital took out of the patient's ear
According to Wu Shixiong, the attending physician, as soon as the outpatient clinic opened on the morning of December 6, the patient Xiao Wang rushed into the consultation room, "He was in pain when he came, covering his ears and telling us that he clearly knew that there were cockroaches entering." He said that cockroaches go in in the middle of the night, and cockroaches have claws and will rub against the eardrum, so the damage to the ears is still relatively large, there will be itching sensations, and even some dizziness. ”
It happened in the middle of the night, Xiao Wang wanted to take out the cockroach by himself, he checked it on the Internet and said that he couldn't pick out his ears, so he patted his ears and jumped to shoot the cockroach out, but it was unsuccessful, endoscopy found that the cockroach was still on the surface of the ear canal and eardrum, and had not yet reached the inner ear area, and the doctor then put it down with anesthetic, and then took out the complete cockroach through the endoscopic forceps.
According to the doctor, if the insect enters the ear canal, it is best not to use tools such as ear spoons and cotton swabs to dig out, as the foreign body is easy to dig deeper and deeper.
Wu Shixiong said: "The best way is to use cooking oil, about two or three drops, pour it into the ear, then turn the head sideways, soak it in for about 10 minutes, and then we pour it out." There are methods on the Internet that say to use light to illuminate it, but that is suitable for phototaxis insects, cockroaches are obviously a light-proof insect, if using light is counterproductive, it will continue to crawl inside. ”
In fact, not only cockroaches, but also cases of insects drilling into the ear canal every year, there are many other insects, such as mosquitoes, spiders, etc., if there are citizens and friends who encounter insects in the ear, you can save yourself according to the doctor's instructions, and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible if you can't take it out. At the same time, we should also pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the living environment and reducing the breeding of insects.
