How long does it take for otitis media to heal? How is otitis media cured?

The time of otitis media is uncertain, the key is that everyone's condition is different, and the effect after taking medicine is different, there is no accurate time at all.

In the early stage of otitis media, if the tympanic membrane is not perforated, oral antibiotics can be used, and topical phenol glycerin ear drops or ear drops such as ofloxacin, levofloxacin, lomefloxacin, etc.

**One of the methods of otitis media is medication**, which can be applied systemically with antibiotics or topical drugs. The most commonly used topical drugs are glucocorticoids, diluting mucins, and vasoconstrictors, and surgery may be considered if the condition is too severe**.

Otitis media is a multi-faceted disease in otolaryngology, and there are many people who suffer from this disease, and it can occur at all ages. Otitis media can damage hearing to a certain extent, so it is necessary to standardize it in time**. So how about otitis media?

1. Drugs for otitis media**.

1.Systemic medications.

Otitis media requires antibiotics to control the infection, usually with cephalosporins, which need to be given orally or intravenously depending on the patient's condition. In the case of acute purulent otitis media, early antibiotics can effectively prevent tympanic membrane perforation.

2.Topical medications.

1) Glucocorticoids.

Otitis media can be applied topically, glucocorticoids can be used, the main effect of this type of drug is anti-inflammatory and analgesic, often used as an adjunct, try to avoid long-term medication.

2) Thinning mucos.

If you have otitis media, you can also use muco-thinning drugs topically to **. These drugs can enhance the excretory function of cilia, reduce the surface tension of the eustachian tube mucosa, and reduce the pressure of opening, which is helpful for recovery.

3) Vasoconstrictors.

People with otitis media can also be treated with vasoconstrictors**, which are actually nasal drops containing vasoconstrictors. Nasal drops with this medication improve the patency of the Eustachian tubes, thereby reducing local inflammation in otitis media.

2. Surgery for otitis media**.

If the condition of otitis media is too severe and obvious complications have appeared, surgery** can be considered, such as tympanoplasty, middle ear lesion resection, etc.

Otitis media includes acute otitis media and chronic otitis media, which in turn includes chronic simple otitis media, osteotic otitis media, cholesteatoma otitis media, and secretory otitis media. Acute otitis media can be treated with oral or intravenous antibiotics according to the severity of the symptoms, local ear drops of ofloxacin ear, and physiological seawater irrigation of the nasal cavity, ephedrine vasoconstrictors and nasal drops.

For chronic simple otitis media, it is necessary to reduce the triggers and avoid the onset of acute otitis media. If there is repeated ear pus or hearing loss, surgery** is also required. For patients with osteolitic otitis media or cholesteatoma otitis media, surgery is required as soon as possible**.

Secretory otitis media should be accompanied by nasal, sinus or nasopharyngeal diseases. If there is a large amount of fluid in the middle ear, tympanic membrane puncture, myringotomy, or tympanic tube surgery, oral eucalyptus, myrtle oil, or oral European horse in children can be used.

The problem of otitis media, first of all, is it acute otitis media or chronic otitis media, chronic otitis media is also divided into chronic secretory otitis media, chronic purulent otitis media, chronic purulent otitis media, chronic simple purulent otitis media, bone ulcer chronic purulent otitis media and cholesteatoma chronic purulent otitis media, according to different otitis media to take different ways**:

1. Acute otitis media can generally be controlled by antibiotic ear drops, and oral antibiotics can be added if necessary, so as to improve the condition of otitis media;

2. If chronic simple otitis media is persistent pus, you can consider using antibiotic ear drops**; If only the dry ear is in the quiescent phase, it can be observed, and the dry ear for more than 3 months can be considered for tympanic membrane repair; If it is a bone ulcer or cholesteatoma type of chronic suppurative otitis media, timely surgery** is required to remove the lesion to achieve the purpose of controlling the further development of the lesion, and if necessary, to improve hearing through hearing reconstruction surgery; Chronic secretory otitis media can be treated through tympanic tube to balance the air pressure inside and outside the tympanic cavity and reduce secretions in the middle ear cavity, so as to achieve the purpose of secretory otitis media, so it is necessary to carry out different methods according to different types of otitis media to achieve the purpose of otitis media.

Otitis media, commonly known as "rotten ears", is a common condition. Otitis media often occurs in adolescents and children, but also in other age groups, and is often a painful complication of an upper respiratory tract infection such as the common cold or throat infection. In particular, water ingress in the ears caused by swimming in summer accounts for the vast majority of patients who induce otitis media.

Otitis media is chronic inflammation of the mucosa, tympanic membrane, or bone mass of the middle ear, often coexisting with chronic mastoiditis. Acute otitis media can also develop if it is not timely**, or if it is severe. The ** of purulent otitis media is:

Pus culture should be carried out if possible, and antimicrobial susceptibility tests should be carried out, and antibiotics should be selected according to the test results, or oral or injected. Localized ear: If the pus is large and thick, wash with hydrogen peroxide, and if it is non-purulent otitis media, the main thing is to reduce the edema of the Eustachian tube and use antibiotics appropriately.

You can check the area causing the inflammation and then target**.

Otitis media is relatively still a disease that can be completely **, the general otitis media is the so-called purulent otitis media, in purulent otitis media, most of the acute otitis media through drugs**, can be completely **.

Unless there are other factors that cause otitis media in addition to the ear, the long-term existence of this factor has cured otitis media, but this factor that causes otitis media has not been eliminated, and it is reversed in the middle ear, but this does not mean that otitis media cannot be treated, if it is removed, maybe otitis media will no longer be **.

Acute otitis media can be cured by most of the drugs, chronic otitis media if you want to **, most of them need surgery**, such as chronic otitis media, simple otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, you need to do tympanic membrane repair, some otitis media is more serious, the bones in the ear are rotten, or the formation of cholesteatoma, this kind of need to thoroughly clean up the lesion, open the whole ear, get clean, and remove all the lesions inside.

Otitis media is not enough, now the requirements are a little higher, that is, I also hope that after cleaning up otitis media, hearing can return to normal, because sometimes a clean-up, the ear listening ossicles, these sound conduction devices have been wiped out, so the damaged ossicles, the tympanic membrane must be rebuilt, repaired, most patients can achieve this complete removal of lesions, ** otitis media, and at the same time restore hearing This requirement, even if a small number of can't be reached, but the complete ** otitis media, can still be achieved.

On the other hand, there is a kind of otitis media, which is the so-called secretory otitis media, also known as non-purulent otitis media, this lesion is actually the main problem is not that it can not be **, but lies outside the ear, and the factors that cause otitis media are not easy to remove, for example, there are lesions in the nose, which always cause secretory otitis media.
