Symptoms and treatment of ear plugs in children and adults

Reasons for

5 main reasons identified:

1. The sulfur viscosity is greatly enhanced by .Now the exact answer to the question, why the viscosity is increased, no. We can assume that the body lacks liquid. Also, this can be affected by genetic predisposition. But the mass of experiments proves that if the right amount of drinking water, and non-carbonated, then the formation of traffic jams is minimized. On the photo - sulfur plug in the ear:

2. Dimensions of the ear canal .Depending on the diameter and depth, the formation of plugs depends. Of course, than the passage is longer and narrower, the higher the probability of accumulation of sulfuric mass.
3. Chewing movements .It would seem strange: how can the usual chewing process affect the stuffiness of the ear. The thing is that the process of chewing is a reduction of muscles. The auditory canal is then widened and narrowed during chewing. And in the case of a narrow passage, viscous sulfur and the clogging of the ear. The probability is 90%.
4. Cholesterol level .If it is high, then it has been noticed that the sulfur becomes thick.
5. Hair in the ears .If the hair grows thick and fast, in particular it often occurs in men. But in women with hormonal failure this also often happens.
6. In children, surplus sulfur can occur due to other reasons. Many parents try to clean the ears of the child, thinking that they are too quickly contaminated. But just such excessive care can do much harm. The organism, sensing a lack of sulfur, tries to fill it, and, therefore, can produce surplus. As a result, the ears of the child suffer.
7. In addition to all these reasons, note that you can not clean the ears with cotton buds, wash only the shell itself, you do not need to touch the ear canals.

1. An unpleasant sensation is felt, as if something in the ear is interfering.
2. The hearing is drastically reduced.
3. If the cork is very hard, then it presses on the ear. As a result, headaches, nausea, dizziness, otitis, neuritis occur.
4. If the stopper is not removed for a long time, inflammation of the middle ear may occur.
5. Atrophy - when you hear your own voice in your ear.

If cork occurs in children, they can occasionally complain of pain that occurs in the ear, ringing and noise. Also, babies can often scratch their ear. But it is worth noting that if a child often asks again, does not hear the call of his parents, can start when someone comes along, then you need to pay attention to it. If the child constantly touches his ears, then this also indicates the presence of traffic jams. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the ear closely. It is better to take the child to the otolaryngologist.
