Do you often participate in such dialogues? Council to wash your ears, of course, is good, but still here he is out of place.
If you periodically get noise in your ears, ears pawns, and also you sometimes hear your own voice, then, most likely, you have a sulfur plug in your ear. What to do in this case? Of course, consult a doctor. The specialist will ask you a few questions about your previous illnesses, determine if you have encountered a similar problem before, and after understanding for yourself the symptoms and anamnesis of the disease will begin to retrieve the plug.
Physicians often face patients' complaints that they have sulfuric cork in their ear. What to do in this case, they are also well aware. To extract the plug most often used one of two methods - either a special probe and a hook, or a wash. How the ENT will work depends on the type of the ear plug - how dry it is, and also on whether the patient has inflammatory processes in the ear. For example, if such processes exist, and a person suffers or suffers from ear pain, then it is not necessary to resort to washing the ears, since the liquid, hitting the ear canal, will provoke the further development of the inflammatory process. It is possible that the matter will end with suppuration. That is why doctors, answering the question: "What if there is a cork in the ear?"- Do not recommend trying to wash it out of the ear canal yourself.
The doctor, in this case, does this: he takes a syringe filled with warm saline solution, the patient's auricle delays upwards and slightly sideways. Then, with a strong jet directed at a certain angle, the plug from the ear is washed out, and the remaining liquid is carefully removed with tampons.
But it also happens that with such a problem a person encounters at a time when a visit to a doctor is impossible for objective reasons. For example, he is on a trip, or a cork was felt at the weekend. You can try to cope with the problem yourself, but you must act carefully. For example, it is not recommended to try to clean the ear canal with cotton buds. And do not pay attention to the fact that they are called in the people by chopsticks. With these chopsticks you will only tarnish sulfur, making the cork even more dense. By the way, these sticks are often the cause of the formation of a cork in the ear. What can I do? You can buy in the pharmacy special candles for the ears or, if the pharmacy is not nearby, try to make them yourself. To do this, the sheet of paper is folded into a narrow tube. If there is wax or paraffin, soak it two-thirds the length of the molten mass. Lie on your side, problem ear up. Insert into it the end of the tube, which you did not dipped in paraffin, and set the opposite on. Yes, it's hard to do it yourself, so the presence of an assistant is desirable. But, as a last resort, you can adapt yourself and conduct this procedure alone. The main thing is to keep the tube strictly vertically, and make sure that the fire does not get too close to your hand and head. This is how our ancestors got rid of the problem called "cork in the ear."What if there is no wax or paraffin? Not bad is the cotton wool soaked in alcohol or vodka. Your assistant places it on the top edge of the same paper tube and sets it on fire. Alcohol quickly burns down, the pressure in the tube itself drops, and all the dirt accumulated in the ear rushes into it, as the second end of the tube fits snugly to the ear canal. Often, after cleaning the ears with candles, people are horrified, looking at what was in their ears. Yes, the picture does not please, but now your ear is clean.
