Recently, Mr. Dong, who lives in Nanning, Guangxi, went to the emergency department of Nanning Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment.
Twenty minutes before the consultation, he suddenly felt something in his left ear in his sleep, causing a tingling and itching sensation. He immediately patted his ear and digged his ear canal with his fingers. He actually pulled out the insect’s leg and tail, and rushed to it. hospital.
After receiving the consultation, the doctor found that Mr. Dong had a faintly visible cockroach in his external ear canal. After gently clamping it out with tweezers, the cockroach was still alive, 2 cm long as big as a little finger.
At present, Mr. Dong’s left ear discomfort has gradually disappeared and his hearing has returned to normal.
The doctor reminded: It is a common situation that insects enter the ear canal. In addition to cockroaches, there are also mosquitoes, centipedes, moths, etc. that are easy to invade the ear canal.
If you accidentally encounter “worms”, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
