Frequently cleaning ears, then they got injured and developed pus—what should I do?

Generally, if an ear injury caused by ear cleaning becomes infected and pus forms, treatment may include wound cleansing, keeping the wound clean and dry, and taking oral antibiotics. Specific measures are as follows:

1. Clean the wound

Use a mild cleanser such as saline solution or warm boiled water to gently clean the area around the wound. Gently wipe with a clean, soft gauze pad, but avoid vigorous rubbing or scrubbing.

2. Keep the wound clean and dry

Maintain dryness of the wound and prevent water or other liquids from entering it, as moisture can allow bacteria or other pathogens to infect the wound, increasing the risk of infection and delaying the healing process.

3. Oral antibiotics

Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as azithromycin tablets, cefaclor sustained-release tablets, or amoxicillin capsules can be taken to suppress or kill the bacteria causing the infection, helping to relieve inflammation and promote wound healing.

It is important to seek medical advice promptly so that a healthcare professional can evaluate and properly manage the condition, providing appropriate treatment recommendations to support faster recovery. Additionally, maintain healthy daily habits and avoid spicy or irritating foods, which may hinder healing.
