Granulations in the Ear.
Granulations in the Ear:
Whenever a wounded surface heals, little red bodies are formed
called granulations. After there has been for some time an irritating discharge from the ear, the channel of the ear is apt to become
more or less filled with such granulations. These occasion a constant discharge of matter, and may become so large as to block up
the passage of the ear and thus impair the hearing. In the latter
case they are called polyps. So long as they merely rest upon the
floor of the meatus they may escape notice unless a special examination of the ear is made. By pulling the external ear gently
upward and backward and looking into the channel, we can observe
small red bodies, more or less obscured by matter, usually at the
Lack part of the opening.
Treatment.- The ear should be syringed out with warm
water in the manner already described; after this a camel's hair
brush should be dipped in a solution of lunar caustic (forty grains)
in water (one ounce). With this the granulations should be brushed
every day, the syringing being regularly performed.
