Symptomatic treatment of otitis media

Treatment 1: congestive period, if the symptoms are mild, generally good, can not use any sulfonamides or antibiotics, so that children have their own immunity to infected bacteria. In order to prevent negative pressure and exudate in the middle ear, we should treat the eustachian tube at this stage.

Treatment 2: in the exudation stage, in addition to strengthening the nasal drip, so that the middle ear exudate can be discharged through the eustachian tube, sulfonamides or antibiotics should also be given to prevent suppuration.
