Introduction
In general, sudden ear warmth may be caused by factors such as excessive internal heat ("fire"), yin deficiency with internal heat, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Besides these three causes, it could also result from conditions such as otitis media, external otitis, or furuncles in the external auditory canal. Patients experiencing these symptoms are advised to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital and actively cooperate with their doctor's treatment.
一般情况下，耳孔突然发热可能是由于上火、阴虚内热、植物神经功能紊乱等Cause引起的。具体分析如下：
1、上火
长期熬夜或者吃辣性的食物都有可能会造成耳朵上火，上火时会有耳部血管扩张的现象，因此会造成耳朵发热。Patient要避免食用刺激性食物，平时要注意清洁耳朵，多喝水，有利于镇定火气，早睡早起。RecommendationPatient按照医嘱服用三黄片、黄连上清片等Medicine进行Treatment。
2、阴虚内热
Patient长期阴虚内热也会导致耳孔发热。主要表现为手心脚心出汗、心情烦躁、乏力等Symptoms。Patient可遵医嘱使用六味地黄丸、知柏地黄丸等Medicine调理。同时也可以配合针灸进行Treatment。
3、植物神经功能紊乱
植物神经功能紊乱可以有低血压、头晕、心慌、恶心等多个系统的Symptoms。Treatment上要多休息、加强Exercise锻炼。Patient可在Doctor的指导下使用谷维素片、维生素B1片等MedicineTreatment。
除以上三种Cause外，还可能是由于中耳炎、外耳道炎、外耳道疖肿等Cause造成。RecommendationPatient如果出现这些Symptoms应及时去医院Examination，并积极配合DoctorTreatment。
