Why the runny nose turns into otitis?
The development of otitis in the cold is connected with the violation of the essaye tube, connecting the nasopharynx with the emancipation of the middle ear, which is primarily due to its edema and blockage with thick nasal mucus.
Children Evstachyeva pipe is wide and short, so microbes are easily and quickly overcome with the nasopharynx to the middle ear.
Throwing infected mucus in the ear promote nasal congestion and incorrect blowing.
The development of otitis has:
- Passive smoking, that is, inhalation of tobacco smoke;
- the use of dummy;
- decrease in immunity;
- running runny nose;
- adenoids.
How does this happen?
Thus, Otitis is quite frequent complication of ARVI. Increased mucus release and throwing it in Eustachiev Pipe with imnation leads to inflammation and blockage. Violation of the ventilation of the eared eared cavity leads to the accumulation of inflammatory fluid in it, which, occasionated by nasopharynx microbes, on the second or third day from the beginning of the disease turns into a pus, pressing on a drumpatch from the inside and causing sharp pain. When a breakthrough of the eardrum occurs, purulent liquid begins from the outer auditory passage.

As need to be mad?
If the child has a tight nose, before asking him to blow herdorship, you need to bump throat dripping drops — They will reduce the swelling of the mucous and make it easier to the depression of mucus.
To clean the nasal cavity from the mucus, it is enough to close one nostril and confidently and smoothly exhale the air through the second.
