ChatGPT
Granular myringitis, also known as chronically infected eardrum, is a condition characterized by inflammation and infection of the tympanic membrane (eardrum). It often leads to discomfort, pain, and sometimes hearing impairment. This condition is characterized by the presence of small granulations or growths on the surface of the eardrum, which can cause itching, irritation, and a sensation of fullness in the affected ear. While the exact cause of granular myringitis is not always clear, it's often associated with bacterial or fungal infections, as well as other factors like excessive moisture in the ear canal. Treatment typically involves antibiotic or antifungal ear drops, as well as efforts to keep the ear dry and clean. If you suspect you have granular myringitis, it's important to consult a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
