Ear drops

Who among us did not ignore the request of my mother to put a hat on his head while going out into the yard, but it seemed that we looked badly in it, we could spoil our hair, and as a result we received shooting in the ears or a more common disease - otitis.

And then we had to buy at the drugstore drops for the ears, which the parents after long persuasions buried us, forcing then to pull up to the eyes a thick knitted hat. And we suffered from pain and dreamed of escaping to the street,

Let's try to understand what otitis is and what it is necessary to do with it, than to treat the ear, because the pain is sometimes just intolerable.

Otitis is an inflammatory process that occurs in the middle ear. Usually it is a consequence of a cold, but sometimes it appears on its own.

If you feel severe pain, you should always consult an otolaryngologist who will carry out the necessary research and prescribe the appropriate treatment, especially if the inflammation in the ear is accompanied by a runny nose.

As a rule, experts prescribe otitis drops for the ears, the effective effect of which is due to the presence in their composition of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory components. They are injected with a boiled pipet, previously placing the vial into warm water. The temperature of the medication when instilled should reach 37 degrees Celsius, otherwise irritation of the membranes of the brain or inner ear, manifested in the form of convulsions and dizziness, may begin.

The patient is laid on his side, stretching the sink to straighten the auditory canal, with adults up and back, and in young children - down, and instilled drops into the ear canal for ears. After that, as if massaging the ear with a cotton ball for about five minutes or ten, then tilt the head in the opposite direction, so that the remnants of the medicine glass, dry the cavity and insert a cotton ball.

In the pharmacies already sold drops for the ears, such as "Otium", "Otipaks", "Sofredeks", "Albucid", are sold, solutions of "Etonia", "Rivanola", "Polymyxin", "Rizorcin" are also good. As a result of their use, the mucous membrane is cleared of inflammation and pus, the secretion is diluted.

Treatment is carried out for at least seven days, the only way to avoid complications, relapse and prevent the transition of the disease into a chronic form.

If drops from otitis are for some reason currently unavailable, then you can use the methods that traditional medicine offers, for example, warming compresses that not only soothe the pain, but also improve blood circulation. To do this, moisten gauze with vodka or a solution of honey in vodka, put it on the ear, cover with a plastic wrap, and put cotton wool on top and bandage with a woolen shawl. However, such treatment is contraindicated in purulent otitis.

The very first aid at home, when there are no special medicines at hand, can be an alcohol tincture made from peppermint or marigold flowers, a three percent boric acid solution made with alcohol, or a conventional warmed vegetable oil.

Not bad helps with acute pain in the ear and a common onion, the juice of which is mixed with vodka and inserted with the help of cotton wool in the ear, as well as almond oil, which is digested with fresh honey.

Drops for the ears, which not only instantly relieve pain, but also cure, can be prepared on their own. Their recipe was used by more than one generation of our ancestors. They are prepared very simply: a tablespoon of rock salt dissolves in one liter of water, mix thoroughly. Then the resulting brine is combined with pre-mixed ammonia and camphor oil. You can keep this medicine for about a year.

Remember that all drops that are buried in the ear must be agreed with the doctor in order to avoid undesirable consequences.
