How is otitis media treated
Treatment 1: drug treatment, patients with unobstructed drainage mainly local drug treatment, acute attack should be systemic application of antibiotics. If possible, take the pus of patients for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test before medication to guide medication.
Treatment 2: local medication types, tympanic mucosa congestion, edema, secretions more, the application of antibacterial solution or antibacterial and glucocorticoid mixture point ear, such as 0.3% ofloxacin ear drops. Avoid ototoxic drugs. When tympanic mucosa is moist and pus is less, alcohol or glycerin preparation, such as 2% boric acid ethanol, can be used.
Treatment 3: precautions for local medication: wash the ear with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution before medication, and then point the medicine after washing. Do not use aminoglycosides and other ototoxic antibiotics to drop the ear, so as not to cause hearing loss. Powder should not be used when the perforation is small or the amount of pus is large, because it may block the perforation, hinder drainage, and even lead to complications. Try not to use colored drugs, so as not to affect the local observation. The corrosive agents containing phenols and arsenic should not be used in the middle ear cavity.
matters needing attention
I would also like to emphasize that the feeding posture is not correct. If the baby supine position feeding, because the baby's eustachian tube is relatively straight, and the lumen is short, the inner diameter is wide, milk can be choked into the middle ear through the eustachian tube, causing otitis media. What are the factors that easily induce otitis media? Therefore, the mother should take a sitting position when feeding the baby, hold the baby in an oblique position, and suck milk vertically.
