Yangtze Evening News, November 10 (correspondent Cai Yu Liu Yao, reporter Wan Lingyun) "It's amazing, doctor, there is something in my grandson's ear, please think of a solution!" On the afternoon of November 9th, I live in Yangzhong Xinglong. Xiao Le from the development zone, under the leadership of his grandfather, went to the Department of Otolaryngology of Yangzhong Municipal People's Doctor for treatment.
Foreign body in the ear
The child put a foreign body in the ear
Xiaole is 9 years old. A few days ago, because of a moment of curiosity, he inserted a small thing into the ear canal. When he wanted to take it out, he couldn't take it out. It wasn't until the 9th that he felt a pain in his ears that the restless Xiao Le secretly told his grandpa this "secret". Grandpa tried several times to take out the foreign objects for his grandson, but he was still unable to do so, so he hurriedly took the child to the hospital for help.
Geng Xingming, director of the Department of Otolaryngology of Yangtze Chinese Medicine, used an otoscope to see that there was indeed a soybean-sized foreign body in Xiaole's ear canal. After taking it out with ear hooks, it was found to be a small toy accessory. At this point, Grandpa Xiaole was relieved.
Take out one thing, there is another thing
However, things are not simple. After taking out the foreign body, Director Geng went to inspect Xiaole’s ear canal and found that there was a green foreign body inside, and when pulling lightly, the foreign body was found tightly stuck in the inner ear canal. . Director Geng saw through the electronic ear speculum that the green foreign body was close to the tympanic membrane and closely attached to the ear canal wall with almost no gap. Z1z
Director Geng immediately told the parents: “Now you can try to take it directly. If you can’t take it out, you can only take out the foreign body under general anesthesia.”
At this moment, Xiao Le told the truth. I folded a green paper ball I was playing with and stuffed it into my ear. Later, I felt uncomfortable. I wanted to get it out of the toy gadget, and accidentally dropped the gadget into my ear. With more than 20 years of clinical experience,
, the courageous Director Geng, after several attempts without anesthetics, finally succeeded in taking out the small green paper ball!
Faced with the foreign objects taken out from his grandson's ears one after another, Grandpa Xiaole thanked him again and again, and with lingering fear, he assured his grandson: From now on, no foreign objects will be stuffed into his body.
Children should not blindly pick up foreign bodies in children
Geng Xingming told reporters that this situation is not uncommon in Xiaole. Basically, cases of foreign bodies entering the ear canal and nasal cavity can be encountered within three or five days, and most of them are young children. “I often come to the emergency department for medical treatment. If it is not handled in time, it may cause foreign bodies to adhere to the mucous membrane or cause infection.”
Geng Xingming reminds parents that it is very necessary to do a good job in children’s safety education. Parents should tell their children that they must not be small. Put it in the ears, nose, eyes, mouth and other parts of the body, it is very dangerous.
Once parents find a foreign body in their child, don’t panic, do not blindly pick up and try to remove the foreign body from the child, so as not to push the foreign body to the deeper tympanic membrane and other places, which may involve more organ injuries.
"Go to the hospital immediately and ask a professional doctor to pick it up, so as to minimize the damage to the child and ensure safety!" Geng Xingming said.
