How to treat chronic otitis media
summary
Otitis media is an inflammatory disease involving all or part of the middle ear (including eustachian tube, tympanic chamber, tympanic sinus and mastoid air chamber). It can be divided into non suppurative and suppurative. Non suppurative otitis media include secretory otitis media and barotrauma otitis media. Suppurative otitis media can be divided into acute and chronic. Specific inflammation is rare, such as tuberculous otitis media. So, in life, we should pay attention to it, the following is about how to treat chronic otitis media.
How to treat chronic otitis media
Treatment 1: the treatment of acute suppurative otitis media in the recovery stage should be paid equal attention. The improvement of the general condition and the reduction or stop of ear suppurations do not mean that the infection has been cured. For the cases with tympanic membrane perforation, the application of air blowing otoscope for suction in the recovery stage should be strengthened if the secretion can still be sucked out from the middle ear, indicating that the middle ear inflammation has not been completely controlled.
Treatment 2: for acute otitis media, serous otitis media, or bloody and serous exudative otitis media caused by air pressure injury, conservative treatment is mainly adopted, including the use of antibiotics, anti allergic drugs, enzymes and surfactants.
Treatment 3: some middle ear effusion need to be punctured or injected with medicine (hydrocortisone, prednisolone, etc.) in the tympanic cavity. The lymphoid tissue around the pharyngeal orifice of eustachian tube was irradiated by radiation.

I would also like to emphasize: drink milk while lying down. Research Report from the United States says: babies drink water or milk while lying flat, and the water or milk will flow into the nasopharynx, which is at risk of causing otitis media. Therefore, when the baby drinks milk or other drinks, raise his head and wipe off the water or milk at any time.
