1. 1 Otitis is an inflammatory process in the ear. There are 3 types of it: external, medium, internal.
2. 2 Lymphadenitis - an inflammatory process in the lymph node.
3. 3 Epidemic parotitis.
4. 4 Occurrence of sulfuric plug.
5. 5 Mastoiditis - inflammation of the paranasal sinus in the temporal bone.
6. 6 Sialadenitis - inflammatory process in the salivary gland.
7. 7 Herpes.

Perhaps the appearance behind the ear benign education in the form of cones. Basically, a lump appears as a result of inflammation of the lymph nodes, but along with this there can be a number of reasons:

• oncology;
• weakened immunity;
• bad ecology;
• various infections;
• lack of basic hygiene;
• chronic disease;
• blockage of sebaceous glands;
• hormonal disruptions;
• acne;
• disruptions in metabolism.

  Otitis and lymphadenitis

Otitis is a purulent inflammatory process that occurs in the ear. This is the most common cause  that there are painful sensations in the ear. This disease manifests itself solely on the one hand. The following symptoms occur:

• headache on the right or on the left;
• there may be aching or shooting sensations;
• congestion or tinnitus.

Unpleasant sensations do not always accompany such an illness: often it makes itself felt only when it is tilted or sharp movements. The disease is better diagnosed at the initial stage, since at this stage it is easier to treat. In advanced cases, the body temperature may rise significantly, pus begins to flow out of auricle, there is a general intoxication of the body. In such cases, surgery may be required.

Lymphadenitis is an inflammation of the lymph nodes. It can act as an independent disease or serve as a symptom of a more serious disease. It is rather simple to check its presence: it is necessary to probe the skin in the lymph node area. Formations in the form of small spherical cones should be observed in this area; when they are pressed, painful sensations arise. The latter can not only concentrate behind the ear, but also give to the neck, jaw or ear. The most common cause of inflammation of the lymph nodes is hypothermia. Determining the presence of this disease, it is necessary to consult a doctor so that he appointed an adequate treatment. This must be done urgently in order to avoid complications.

  Possible diseases

Mumps is an inflammatory process in the glands of external secretion. Most often such a disease affects the salivary glands. The disease manifests itself sharply in the first stage, so it is almost impossible to miss or not notice it. In addition to unbearable pain in the jaw and ears, body temperature rises significantly to 39 ° C. It becomes impossible to chew food, speak, or move the jaw in some other way. In this case, you must immediately consult a doctor.

Sulfur cap arises from the accumulation of sulfur in the auricle and further blockage of the ear canal. The root cause of its formation is lack of proper hygiene or anatomical features  auricle. Many, deciding to take up the hygiene of their ears after a long period of time, try to clean them with a cotton swab, tampon or other device. By careless movement, they move the sulfuric mass, injuring the inner ear. More often sulfur plug  does not lead to painful sensations. The doctor removes it with the help of a strong pressure of the liquid coming through a special syringe.

Mastoiditis - an inflammatory process that occurs in sinus  temporal bone. It appears as a result of complications after otitis. Manifests itself severe pain  behind the ear left or right fever  body, general weakness of the body, the release of a small amount of pus from the ear, a feeling of softening of the bone.

Sialadenitis is an inflammatory process of the salivary gland resulting from improper oral hygiene. It can appear only on one side or immediately on both. Accompanied by the disease in most cases only painful sensations behind the ear, which can later spread to the jaw during chewing movements.

Both simple and herpes zoster can cause pain behind the ear. Painful sensations in this area signal the onset of the disease. A few days after the onset of pain, rashes make themselves felt.

  Symptoms of lymphadenitis

The emergence of bumps behind the ear - the result of lymphadenitis. In any case, the appearance of education on the body requires an immediate examination by a specialist. After the biopsy will be known, this is a benign formation or oncological. In addition to the formation of growth behind the ear, the following signs can signal the need to visit a doctor:

• swollen lymph nodes;
• the appearance of a bump behind the ear is not provoked by a cold and did not occur during its treatment;
• pain when you press on education;
• an increase in the size of the bumps over a certain period.

Only a doctor can determine the exact cause of the growth and prescribe treatment. Depending on the reason, it may be different. In no case can not self-medicate, since it can not only be inactive, but also lead to sad consequences. Launched infectious or cancer can equally harm the body and lead to death.

Under no circumstances should you pierce, cut, squeeze, heat, cool or in any other way affect the bump.

Perichondritis

Inflammation of the ear canal occurs due to ear injury, frostbite, after a bite. The disease is characterized by discomfort in the auricle, a rise in temperature. Perichondritis can occur in mild form, end on their own.

With complications, the patient is threatened with the melting of cartilage, deformation of the auricle. Temporarily reduce discomfort alcohol packs  in the ear.

Mastoiditis

If the skin behind the auricle is inflamed, painful, there is a lump behind the ear, perhaps it is caused by mastoiditis. The pain is pulsating in nature, it is impossible to warm up the ear, it will not bring benefits and instillation.

The only thing that needs to be done is to take a painkiller, and in the morning to visit an otolaryngologist. If the pain after taking the painkiller does not subside, a painful, inflamed bone is felt behind the ear, you need to go to the emergency room for inspection.

Neurological Earache

Pain can occur in a healthy ear, from the point of view of an otolaryngologist, for example, with discomfort:

• in the auditory canal  due to a temporomandibular joint defect;
• in the auricle  as a result of violations of the large occipital nerve;
• in the eardrum due to the disruption of the vagus nerve, which is responsible for the innervation of the stomach, posterior cranial fossa, ear membrane.

Paradoxically, the pain that occurs in diseases of the stomach, can be given in the ear, how to treat and what kind of disease, if the ear hurts in such a case, the doctor determines.

Deep internal pain in the ear, extending into the eye, aggravated by light, is characteristic of the neuropathy of the intermediate nerve. This pain is not associated with talking, chewing, drops and ointments to cure such pain is impossible. Help in such cases is capable of a neurologist.

Video about ear treatment with folk remedies

The human ear has a rather complex structure. It consists of internal, middle and external department. In addition, each of them plays its role in the perception of the surrounding world and consists of certain organs. The complex structure of the body provides its functionality, and a direct connection with the nasopharynx does not rarely lead to the development of various kinds of diseases. One of them is the state when, and it is sometimes quite difficult to determine its cause.

Ear hurts when pressing on the trestle: structural features of the outer ear and the causes of the development of the inflammatory process

The outer ear plays an important role in the perception of the surrounding world, since it ensures the capture and transmission of sound waves. One of its parts is the trestle, consisting of cartilage and representing a small protrusion located directly above the entrance to. On the opposite side of it is the anticerok, which is placed above the lobe of the ear.

Trestle functions

The functions of the tragus are not limited to the perception of auditory waves and the determination of their direction, it also provides:

• decrease or increase in the frequency of sound vibrations;
• increased hearing sensitivity;
• determining the source of sound waves;
• protection of the auditory canal against the entry of foreign objects and alien organisms.

Reason - Otitis

The provision of such functions is extremely important for a person and the situation when this organ starts to hurt, can significantly affect the perception of the surrounding world. If the ear aches when pressing on the trestle, this may signal the development of some inflammatory or pathological process. Most often in such a case, we are talking about the development of otitis media, which struck part of the auditory canal, or the formation of another kind of inflammation that occurs in the upper part of the outer ear. This disease is characterized by the formation of an abscess and is accompanied by fairly strong pain. They fall down only after the suppuration bursts, and its contents spill out.

In turn, otitis occurs and develops under the action of pathogenic organisms such as staphylococci, streptococci, or fungi. Its course is accompanied by the formation and rapid development of the inflammatory process, covering the whole ear with amazing rapidity. In this case, in the area of ​​the tragus, edema may occur, accompanied by acute pain when pressed.

Other reasons

Also, the cause of the trestle swelling and causing pain, can be a mechanical impact or damage to the shell. The slightest microtraumas or scratches resulting from the rough cleaning of the ear canal can lead to the development of inflammation. Children who suffer injuries during hygiene procedures or play activities suffer from such negligence especially often.

The most common cause of pain is the banal water entering the ear canal. Everyone can make such a state, even without leaving home, taking a bath or taking a shower. Getting into the ear, the liquid washes away the outer protective layer of the epithelium, which acts as a kind of barrier for disease-causing organisms. As a result of its absence, bacteria freely penetrate the auditory canal and actively multiply in it, causing the development of inflammation.

The formation of inflammation in the ear: the main symptoms and the need for medical examination

Each of the above criteria can trigger the development of the inflammatory process, as a result of which pressure on the trestle causes unbearable pain. In addition, his education is characterized by other signs:

• pain in contact with the ear;
• discomfort and itching in the inner part of the ear;
• skin redness;

All these symptoms may not necessarily occur, but their manifestation is possible and depends on the degree of inflammation, as well as the intensity and causes of appearance. In otitis, the pain syndrome has a pulsating character and is able to intensify. when you click on the tragus, or swallowing. With further development of the disease, the ear may swell and increase in size, and the pain becomes more intense and intrusive. Diffuse inflammation is characterized by far less pronounced symptoms and not so much pain. Most often, it is accompanied by itching and severe swelling of the auditory canal.

Education, and especially their exacerbation when pressing on the trestle, are the reason for an immediate appeal to a specialist. That he will be able to make the most correct diagnosis and determine the main directions of treatment, which is necessary for such a development of events. At the same time, self-treatment can lead to diametrically opposite effects and the further development of inflammation, therefore, it is better to refuse it.

Sore tragus of the ear: the structure of treatment and drugs

Timely appeal for medical care  gives you the opportunity to get rid of discomfort  and avoid aggravating the situation. As a rule, such problems are dealt with by an otolaryngologist, who determines the main methods of therapy and prescribes medication. Moreover, their choice is made on the basis of the shape and intensity of the development of pathology. In some cases, treatment involves the opening of an abscess, while in others, inflammation may be affected only by medicinesthat look like this:

• Antibiotics are needed to eliminate bacterial infection. However, their purpose is made on the basis of the results of analyzes, allowing to accurately determine the specific type of pathogen that caused the disease. Also, clinical studies allow us to find out the sensitivity of bacteria to certain types of antibiotics and to determine their concentration in the blood.
• Antihistamines are aimed at reducing edema and block nerve endings, reducing the effect of various stimuli on the body.
• Antifungal drugs are used only when the development of the pathological process is triggered by fungi, and their choice is made on the basis of their type and stage of development.
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They make it possible to reduce the pain threshold and help fight inflammation.
• Vitamins and minerals strengthen the body, improving its protective qualities and stimulating the immune system.
• Antibacterial ear drops  are best remedy local application. Their use makes it possible to neutralize the disease and its accompanying pain sensations  as soon as possible.

The use of such tools is designed to help get rid of the discomfort in the ear that occurs when you click on the tragus. However, their choice and appointment should be carried out only by a doctor who understands the possible consequences and their effectiveness.

Conclusion

A person's ear can get sick for a variety of reasons. However, the appearance of pain when you click on the trestle significantly narrows their range. A similar symptom in both a child and an adult indicates the formation of an inflammatory process in the area of ​​the external ear. Ignoring this feature can lead to aggravation of the situation and the emergence of more serious signs. His treatment requires immediate treatment to the doctor and unquestioning implementation of all his recommendations. This is the only way to ensure that the pain disappears when you press the tragus, and the disease that provoked it finally recedes.

Pains and their causes alphabetically:

ear pain

Our organ of hearing consists of external, middle and inner ear. The external ear includes the auricle, external auditory canal and eardrum. The latter is the boundary between the outer and middle ear. The middle ear is located in the temporal bone of the skull and consists of the tympanic cavity, the auditory (Eustachian) tube and mastoid. Inner ear is a maze and contains formations, some of which (the semicircular canals) are responsible for the sense of balance, and others (the cochlea) are for transforming sound vibrations into an impulse that can then be recognized by the cerebral cortex.

The pain in the ear can be directly related to the inflammatory process in the ear or be reflex in acute and chronic tonsillitis, antritis, inflammation of the maxillary joint of a specific and non-specific nature. Pain in the ear can cause jaw pathology, inflammation of the tonsils, sinusitis, but most often - pain in the neck, spine, myofascial pain, and neuralgia. Only a medical examination of the ear, head and neck can reveal the true cause of the discomfort in the ear.

What causes pain in the ear?
  Otitis (ear inflammation) is external (limited, diffuse and moderate). Limited inflammation of the external ear is more often called furunculosis (inflammation of the sacs and sebaceous glands under the action of a mechanical factor — manipulations in the ear canal with matches, hairpins, etc. against the background of a certain readiness of the microorganism — reduced immunity in diabetes, gout, and hypovitaminosis (A, B, C ), as a result of activation or accession of staphylococcal infection). Spilled inflammation of the ear canal is observed mainly in chronic purulent otitis due to the introduction into the skin and subcutaneous layer of various bacteria, as well as fungus. The inflammatory process often extends to the eardrum

Otitis media are acute and chronic, purulent and catarrhal. The severity of the inflammatory response depends mainly on the virulence of the microorganisms and on the state of the protective forces of the microorganism, in addition, microorganisms that are activated during viral or bacterial inflammation of the nasal mucosa, contribute to the course of the inflammatory reaction by superinfection, reinfection or autoinfection.

The mechanism of penetration of bacterial pathogens can be as follows: when coughing, sneezing, especially when ineptly blowing nose, bacteria pass through the auditory tube into the middle ear. This path, the so-called tubar path, is one of the main ones. Much less often, the infection enters the middle ear by hematogenous and, in exceptional cases, through the damaged eardrum.

The high virulence of microbes, a decrease in the overall reactivity of the organism, the presence of a chronic pathological process in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx contribute to the transition of acute purulent otitis  in chronic form.

What diseases cause pain in the ear:

Types of pain in the ears
  There are various types of pain in the area of ​​the ears. It can be caused, for example, by infection of the tonsils, jaw and nasal sinuses.

Types of pain in the ear depending on the area of ​​the ear:
  Auricle (part of the ear that catches sound). A strong wind can cause a painful bruise in the ear area, which increases and becomes blue. Frostbite or burn of the auricle can cause ear pain or itching.

Another disease that may cause pain in the ear area is periochondritis (an infection of the skin that protects cartilage). Cartilage is dense tissue that gives shape to the nose and ears.

External auditory canal. A foreign body that gets into the external auditory canal is the most common cause of pain in the ear area in children. Because of this, the outer ear can become inflamed.

Acute inflammation  outer ear. It is often caused by water (contaminated with bacteria) entering the ear. The pain is severe and may increase with movement of the jaws.

Good evening! A few days ago, an internal lump appeared somewhere at the level of the middle of the right ear from the front side. It does not hurt, it has increased in size at the beginning, now it seems to grow. Could this be somehow related to a cold? as I noticed her after a cold .. but now I'm not sick anymore.

Post date: 08.11.2012 18:08

It is hard to say. What does it mean to have a cold? This means that against the background of reduced immunity during the illness, any infection, such as herpes, may occur. Although it is quite possible that this tumor formation and with a cold, it has nothing to do, but simply coincided.
  Without inspection, no one will give you a sensible answer, and more often there is little inspection, cyto- or histological examination is required.
