Ear Block & Wax Removal in Kochi


The ear canal produces a waxy substance called cerumen, which protects the ear from dust, foreign bodies, by microorganisms, and the skin of the ear canal irritation caused by water. In normal conditions, the excess earwax comes out in a natural way from the duct and from the ear, and then is deleted when brushing.

Earwax excess product from the glands can harden and block the ear. During the cleaning of the ears, it can happen to push the earwax inwards, blocking the duct. The wax buildup is a common cause of temporary hearing loss.

Care should be taken when trying to treat earwax buildup in the home. If the problem persists, you should visit a doctor. Usually the treatment is quick and painless, and the hearing is fully recovered.

Causes


Some people tend to produce too much earwax. The introduction of sticks coated with cotton, hairpins, or other objects in the ear canal can push the earwax towards the inside, creating obstruction.

The accumulation of earwax is more common in people who often use headsets or hearing aids.

Signs and symptoms

Among the signs of the accumulation of earwax there are:

  • Sudden loss of hearing or partial (usually temporary);
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears);
  • Feeling of fullness in the ear;
  • Earache.
If not removed, the excess earwax can give rise to infection. Contact your doctor if symptoms of infection, such as:

  • Intense ear pain or pain that does not go;
  • Secretion from the ear;
  • Fever;
  • Persistent hearing loss;
  • Smell coming from the ear;
  • Dizziness.

SINUSITIS- occurs when the small, air filled spaces inside the cheekbones and forehead become inflamed due to bacterial or viral infection. This can be occur in two forms; namely acute or chronic sinusitis.

Acute sinusitis causes the cavities around your nasal passages to become inflamed and swollen. This interferes with drainage and causes mucus to build up.Acute sinusitis is when the infection only lasts for a week or a few days or up to 12 weeks. While some people will only experience its symptoms once or twice in their life time, many people experience it more frequently.

Chronic sinusitis is a common condition in which the cavities around nasal passages (sinuses) become inflamed and swollen — for at least eight weeks, despite treatment attempts.Chronic sinusitis is the kind of sinusitis that last longer than 3 months, meaning that the symptoms become more extremely painful and energetic as time goes by.




The causes of Sinusitis


  • Mucus build-up in the sinuses
  • Inhaling substances that irritate the lining of the nose.
  • Dental infections
  • Colds and flu caused by bacteria or virus
  • Weak immune system leaves one vulnerable to any infection
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy causes nasal inflammation.
  • Asthma, smoking, diabetes, and previous injuries to the nose or cheeks.

Treatment For Ear Infections In Children


An Ear infection, also called as otitis media, is the most common cause of earaches. Although this is a frequent cause of infant distress and is often associated with children, it can also affect adults.
Ear infections are said to be the second most common type of infection among babies and toddlers. An ear infection happens when excess fluid gets trapped in the ear leading to a bacterial or viral attack.
Ear infections can cause excessive pain, irritation and other symptoms in the baby. The common symptoms that could indicate an ear infection are as follows:  
1 Irritability: Mood changes and irritability in babies can happen due to a number of reasons. Ear infection can be a probable cause. 
 
2 Loss of appetite: This is the most common sign of an ear infection alongside irritability. Often babies who suffer with an ear infection might refuse a feed either at the breast or the bottle.


3 Uncontrolled crying: Ear infection can at times give rise to acute pains. So this leads to uncontrolled crying of babies. sharp shrill pitch sent out while crying it can indicate a need for more attention. So many other reasons are also there.

4 Flu like symptoms: The most common cause for an ear infection is common cold and cough. Seasonal cold can at times make the Eustachian tube swell and lead to fluid accumulation. Bacterial infection in this fluid can lead to infection of the ear and give rise to mild or moderate fever or other similar symptoms. 
 
5 Pain and pus in the ears: The two most obvious symptoms of ear infection are pain and pus.
6 Sleep disturbance: deep pain causes disturbance for sleep.
7 Tugging of the ears: Babies often tug their ears or keep pulling them for a number of reasons and one of them is due to pain following an ear infection. This is a mechanism that a baby adapts to self soothe from pain or irritation in the ear due to a probable ear infection.
8 Diarrhea and vomiting: The bacteria that cause infection in the ears can at times also upset the GI tract of the babies thereby leading to diarrhea and vomiting.

  • Irritation
  • Sensation of something in the nostril
  • Pain
  • Blood coming from the nose

Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of infections are important. People with diabetes should be vigilant about paying attention to any changes in their bodies that could signal an infection. Some examples of body changes that diabetics should be alerted to can include :

Solution for your Nasal Polyps & Fungal Sinusitis Through MLP - DRAF3 ( Latest Technology in Sinus Surgery )

Endoscopic sinus surgery and Functional Endoscopic Sinus surgery (FESS) are names given to operations for people with chronic or severe sinus infections. Endoscopic sinus surgery is done from inside the nose and avoids external cuts. Before surgery, the specialist will examine your nose with a small telescope and arrange for a CT scan of your sinuses.

The purpose of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is to open and enlarge the connection between the sinuses and the nose, allowing for proper drainage. Sinuses are air pockets between the facial bones. Some open into the nose. If the lining of the sinuses become infected it is called sinusitis. Sinusitis causes swelling and inflammation that blocks the sinus openings. The sinuses fill with fluid and, when infected, with yellow-green matter. Infected swollen sinuses cause pressure and pain.
FESS may be used to treat severe acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis or recurrent bouts of sinusitis. Small incisions or cuts are made to allow the scope to pass. The cuts are made inside the nose. The physician may remove polyps, cysts or thickened mucus membranes. 

Endoscopic Frontal Sinusotomy (Draf II Procedure)
Endoscopic frontal sinusotomy, or Draf II procedure, is indicated for patients with severe forms of chronic frontal sinus disease that have failed after endoscopic frontal recess approach. This extended drainage procedure involves resection of the floor of the frontal sinus from the nasal septum medially, to the lamina papyracea laterally. The dissection involves removal of the anterior face of the frontal recess. Thus, the frontal sinus ostium is enlarged to its maximum dimension.

Evaluation of multiple consecutive coronal images or sagittal reformatted images can demonstrate extensive removal of the anterior face of the frontal recess and frontal sinus floor when compared to the frontal recess approach. The endoscopic frontal sinusotomy MLP(Modified Lothrop Procedure) DRAF3 procedure can be easily distinguished from the Draf III procedure by the lack of resection of the superior nasal septum and entire frontal sinus floor.
