What medicine is used for otitis media

What medicine is good for otitis media? In fact, otitis media is divided into many types. It depends on which type of otitis media you have. You can use the right medicine for your symptoms. Otitis media is a relatively common type of otolaryngology disease. There are many patients with otitis media now. Some friends are not careful when taking a bath and get water and bath gel into their ears, which will cause a recurrence of otitis media. Some friends use too much when cleaning their ears, which will cause otitis media.

There are many dosage forms of medicines for otitis media, including ear drops, oral medicines, ointments, etc. Different dosage forms of medicines will be used for different types of otitis media. If you use ointment medicines, you must use a soft and compact cotton swab to apply the medicine. Some cotton swabs have been placed for a long time, and the cotton on the head has become loose, making it easy for the medicine to remain in the ear when applied, which can be very troublesome. It is also best to use cotton swabs for cleaning your ears, and avoid using hard ear cleaning tools.

Treatment of acute and chronic suppurative otitis media: The treatment of acute and chronic suppurative otitis media is initially based on medication and instillation. The main treatment options are anti-inflammatory drugs; the medication is to use Chinese herbal powder to open the orifices and clear the ears; roll paper into a thin tube or use a thin plastic tube to take in an appropriate amount of powder and blow it deep into the ear canal. Ear drops are the process of dripping liquid medicine into the patient's ear, which then flows through the perforated eardrum into the middle ear. If suppurative otitis media has developed into mastoiditis, surgical treatment is required.

Treatment of secretory otitis media: The treatment of secretory otitis media aims to improve middle ear ventilation and clear middle ear effusion, with the control of local infection as the treatment principle. You can use the medicine prescribed by the doctor and spray it into the nasal cavity and pharynx to reduce local edema. If symptoms persist after 3 months of continuous medication, a puncture and fluid extraction should be performed.

Treatment of ulcerative otitis media: If the ear pus of the patient with ulcerative otitis media flows smoothly, local medication can be used for treatment; if the pus flow is blocked or not smooth, surgical treatment is required.

Treatment of cholesteatoma otitis media: For cholesteatoma otitis media, drug treatment alone is not helpful. Medication can only temporarily relieve pain but cannot completely cure the disease. If you want to treat the symptoms and the root cause, you need surgical treatment. Using surgery to remove the detached epithelium in the middle ear is the most critical factor in curing cholesteatoma otitis media. We must also pay attention to it in the future to prevent recurrence!

1. Pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep.

2. Pay attention to indoor air circulation and keep the nasal cavity unobstructed.

3. Actively treat nasal diseases. When blowing your nose, do not blow hard or close both nostrils at the same time. Blow your nose crosswise.

4. Let the water in the ears drain out after swimming. People with chronic otitis media should not swim.

5. Actively prevent and treat colds.

Now everyone has a preliminary understanding of what to use for otitis media. It is recommended that you use symptomatic medication and pay more attention to your diet. Never eat spicy and irritating foods to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medication. If you already have otitis media, you should be more careful not to let water and bath fluid enter your ears when taking a bath to avoid cross infection.
