Drinking this juice will make your ears turn red… What causes a rare disease that often occurs in migraine sufferers?

When experiencing something embarrassing or shameful, the color of the ear can change. However, in some cases, a condition can cause one ear to turn red repeatedly. If this occurs, you should consider "Red Ear Syndrome."

 

Red ear syndrome is a rare condition characterized by burning pain and erythema in the ear. The affected ear becomes red and feels itchy. Symptoms usually occur in only one ear, but in some cases, they can occur in both ears. Patients experience intermittent onset and remission of symptoms. In severe cases, the condition can affect surrounding areas, causing pain in the jaw and cheeks.

 

Experts classify red ear syndrome into types 1 and 2. Type 1 occurs at a young age and shares the commonality of having previously suffered from migraines. Type 2 occurs at an older age and can be affected by spinal cord damage or temporomandibular joint disorders. Type 2 patients tend to experience symptoms in only one ear.

 

The exact cause of red ear syndrome is still unknown. Experts recommend suspecting red ear syndrome if the ear pain lasts more than four hours, the ear becomes red, and symptoms occur more than once a day. If diagnosed with red ear syndrome, it's important to minimize any stimulation to the ear. Even contact with an object or exposure to cold can trigger the symptoms, so be careful. Furthermore, migraines often trigger red ear syndrome, so taking preventative measures on a regular basis can be helpful.

 

Red ear syndrome is a chronic condition, with symptoms that alternate between improvement and worsening. Patients typically use medications used to treat migraines to alleviate symptoms. There is no specific way to prevent red ear syndrome. Managing stress and staying hydrated can help reduce ear irritation.

 

Red ear syndrome was first reported in 1994, and fewer than 100 cases have occurred since then. A paper published in the Journal of Medical Case Reports last September stated: A 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with red ear syndrome after experiencing migraines. A case was reported. In 2014, a 22-year-old A case has been reported in which a woman developed red ear syndrome after drinking orange juice. In this case, the cause was presumed to be the high acidity of orange juice, which stimulated the sympathetic nervous system and dilated blood vessels. The symptoms appeared when the vascular response was concentrated in the ears.
