Epiglottitis can cause purulent discharge in the ear, but not everyone notices because the clinical symptoms are not clear. If not detected and treated promptly, the disease can cause dangerous complications, affecting hearing ability.
2. Classification and symptoms of atrial fibrillation
2.1. External epiglottitis External epiglottitis includes:
Prussak pouchitis: This is the most common type. Inflammation of the prussak pouch has no obvious symptoms, the patient usually does not have a fever but has a foul pus discharge with a migraine headache. Kretschmann's pouchitis: Inflammation that impairs hearing because the hammerhead is destroyed, disrupting the ossicles. Symptoms of the disease are purulent discharge in the ear, but little. 2.2. General epiglottitis: The ability to hear is poorer than the two types of pouchitis above, caused by fracture of the hammer neck because of bone resorption, disrupting the subbone chain. Pus appears and flows a lot, bad smell if infected. Some patients appear pus but it is dry pus. Otoscopy revealed a lot and mess of pea-like substance, the perforation took up almost the entire membrane, possibly even the wall of the epiglottis. Inflammation of the epiglottis - atrial fibrillation causes hearing loss, patients hearing loss. Perforation usually occurs in the membrane, stretch membrane and jagged. Episcleritis appears in the choroid, posterior superior angle, into the bone 2.3. Inflammatory epiglottitis Inflammation of the inner eardrum includes striatum and preatrial fibrillation. In which, the perforation error is located in the upper posterior corner, into the bone, when examining the border of the hole, there are polyps. Perforated pre-epicarditis is located just behind the anterior hammer-atrial ligament.
Inflammation of the inner eardrum causes severe hearing loss. Patients may experience dizziness, lightheadedness due to damage to the external semicircular canal.

To treat atrial fibrillation, depending on the degree of inflammation, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate method. Specifically:
If the disease is mild, you can take medicine to treat it, and if it is severe, you need surgery. If inflammation is localized in the epiglottis, surgery to open the upper atrium. With epiglottitis spreading into the striatum, surgery to open the epiglottis. If the infection spreads into the tympanic cavity, it is necessary to cut the root canal.
