This winter is really not child-friendly, and pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, syncytial virus, influenza A virus, and influenza B virus are taking turns to invade children's fragile respiratory tracts. At the same time, the incidence of otitis media in children has shown a significant upward trend. Presumably, parents who are anxious about children's health are now very curious to know how otitis media is caused in children. And why do children develop otitis media after developing respiratory infections?
To understand the relationship between otitis media and respiratory infections in children, it is necessary to understand the structure of the ear. Our ear is divided into two by the eardrum, the outer side of the eardrum is the external auditory canal, and the inner side is the middle ear, which in turn includes structures such as the ossicular chain, the tympanic chamber, and the eustachian tube. Among them, the eustachian tube, as a conduit connecting the throat and the middle ear, has the effect of preventing the reflux of nasopharyngeal secretions into the middle ear.
Due to physiological development, the eustachian tube in children is shorter than that of adults and tends to be horizontal, so once a respiratory infection occurs, nasopharyngeal secretions infected by respiratory viruses or bacteria can easily flow backwards into the middle ear, causing otitis media in children.
After clarifying how otitis media is caused in children, parents need to pay attention to observe the child's behavior, if it is found that the child is infected with respiratory diseases and always involuntarily picks his ears, or the expression is not audible, and there is an abnormal sound in the ear, etc., it is likely that otitis media has occurred.
Otitis media in children caused by bacterial infection can be treated with Cefaclor dry suspension of Syckelau**. The drug is an original cephalosporin preparation for children, which can achieve the purpose of inhibiting bacteria by inhibiting the cell wall synthesis of bacteria, and can target otitis media caused by pathogenic bacteria such as pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, staphylococcus, and Streptococcus pyogenes, improve ear symptoms and reduce inflammatory response in children.
Cefaclor dry suspension strawberry flavor has high adherence to medication in children and has a rapid onset of action, usually 30 minutes after children take the drug. The drug is also friendly to children's gastrointestinal tract, no cardiotoxicity, low overall incidence of adverse reactions, and can be taken with confidence by babies over 1 month old.
In addition to oral cefaclor dry suspension, parents can also use topical ear drops under the guidance of a doctor to reduce the symptoms of otitis media in children.
How is otitis media in children caused and related ** measures, and I will briefly share it with parents here. Parents need to be reminded that because otitis media in children is easy to reverse, in addition to drugs, parents should also pay attention to keeping children's ear canals dry and avoid water in the ears when bathing or washing children's hair, so as not to aggravate the infection.
