OÃdo de nadador crónico
Nombres alternativos:
Infección crónica del oÃdo externo; Otitis externa crónica
SÃntomas:
- Dolor de oÃdo que puede empeorar al halar la oreja
- Prurito en el oÃdo o en el conducto auditivo externo
- Persistente secreción del oÃdo , de color amarillo o verde amarillento, con pus o con olor fétido
- Pérdida de la audición
Signos y exámenes:
Cuando el médico mira dentro del oÃdo, éste se ve enrojecido e inflamado, incluyendo el conducto auditivo externo, el cual puede aparecer como un eccema con descamación de la piel. La palpación o movimiento del oÃdo externo aumenta el dolor y es posible que sea difÃcil para el médico observar el tÃmpano con un otoscopio o éste puede aparecer enrojecido.
La parte más externa del oÃdo, el trago, puede finalmente infectarse y aparecer rojo e inflamado.
