摘要

Acute furunculosis of the ear and nose causes severe localized pain due to inflammatory swelling and increased local temperature. Conventional management primarily relies on systemic antibiotics and analgesics, often providing gradual rather than immediate symptomatic relief. To present Hypopyrotherapy, a simple, non-invasive method for rapid pain relief using a specially designed stainless steel DVG HPT Speculum. The speculum is cooled in ordinary water, wiped, and the temperature of the speculum was assessed prior to application by ensuring it was adequately cooled after immersion in water and wiped with sterile gauze. Direct contact with non-sterile surfaces was avoided to maintain asepsis. Heat is conducted from the inflamed tissue to the cool surface, reducing local temperature and inflammation by facilitating local thermal equilibration. The process is repeated until pain subsides. Outcomes were evaluated based on patient-reported pain relief and clinical examination findings. Most patients reported immediate and progressive reduction in pain following application. In several cases, spontaneous drainage of pus occurred. The duration of systemic antibiotic and analgesic use was clinically observed to be reduced. Hypopyrotherapy appears to be a simple, safe, and non-invasive adjunct for rapid symptomatic relief in acute furunculosis of the ear and nose. Further controlled studies with objective temperature measurement are warranted to validate the proposed mechanism.
