What medicine to take for acute purulent otitis media to reduce inflammation

The most common symptoms of otitis media are a feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear, hearing loss and tinnitus. It often occurs after a cold or unknowingly. Sometimes hearing is improved by changes in head position.

There is self-listening enhancement. Some patients have mild earache. Children often show obedience and obscurity or difficulty concentrating.

1. Hearing loss: hearing loss, self-hearing enhancement. When the head is tilted forward or shifted to the unaffected side, hearing may be temporarily improved as fluid leaves the cochlear transmission (dislocated hearing improvement).

When the fluid is thick, hearing does not change due to changes in head position. Children often have slow response to sounds, difficulty concentrating, and declining academic performance, and are brought to the doctor by their parents. If one ear is diseased and the other ear has normal hearing, it may go unnoticed for a long time and be detected during a physical examination.

2. Earache: Acute patients may have dull otalgia, which is often the first symptom of the patient, and can be persistent or throbbing. In chronic cases, the earache is not obvious.

The condition is often accompanied by occlusion or fullness in the ear, which can be temporarily relieved by pressing the tragus. 3. Tinnitus: mostly low-key intermittent, such as "crackling" sound, buzzing sound and running water sound.

When the head moves, yawns, or blows the nose, the sound of breath passing through the ears and water may appear, and sometimes it will appear again after a pause.

Acute purulent otitis media** is improper or the resistance of the whole body is weak, the inflammation can directly enter the mastoid process through the tympanic sinus to form acute mastoiditis, pass through the bone cortex to form a subcostinent abscess, or it can enter the skull through the congenital skull gap to form intracranial complications, involving the facial nerve and causing facial paralysis. In the past, pediatric acute otitis media was prone to purulent meningitis, but now with the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, such complications have rarely occurred.

1. Systemic **: early application of sufficient antibiotics to control infection. Generally, penicillins, cephalosporins and other drugs can be used.

If it is done in time, it can prevent tympanic membrane perforation. After tympanic membrane perforation, pus is taken for bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility test, and sensitive antibiotics are selected according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility test. Antibiotics need to be used for about 10 days, pay attention to rest, and dredge the stool.

Patients with severe systemic symptoms are given support such as rehydration**. 2. Local**: 1% phenol glycerol ear drops can be used before tympanic membrane perforation to reduce inflammation and relieve pain; Alternating nasal drops with ephedrine 1% and antibiotic nasal drops containing hormones improves Eustachian tube patency and reduces local inflammation.

After tympanic membrane perforation, thoroughly wash and wipe the purulent secretions of the external auditory canal with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, and apply topical antibiotic aqueous solution to the ear to play an anti-inflammatory role. After the infection is completely controlled and the inflammation has completely subsided, some patients have a perforated eardrum that heals on its own. If the tympanic membrane perforation does not heal, surgery may be considered**.

Antibiotics can be used in sufficient quantities until the infection is completely controlled and the inflammation has completely resolved, and can be continued for several days, generally with penicillins, cephalosporins, and rehydration in patients with severe systemic symptoms**.

Acute purulent otitis media. Since it has been very troublesome, it is necessary to inject a drip to reduce inflammation. Also put some anti-inflammatory drugs into your ears. Erythromycin can be anti-inflammatory.
