Treatment of otitis media in children

summary

A classmate's child was found suffering from otitis media during physical examination. There is something in his ear, which is very uncomfortable. He went to the hospital to get some medicine. After treatment, he has basically recovered. Now I would like to share with you about the treatment of children's otitis media.

Treatment of otitis media in children

Treatment 1: etiological treatment: Patients with acute suppurative otitis media should actively treat chronic diseases of the nose and pharynx, such as adenoid hypertrophy, chronic sinusitis, chronic tonsillitis, etc.

Treatment 2: infection control: early application of sufficient antibiotics or sulfonamides can effectively control infection and prevent acute suppurative otitis media from turning into chronic otitis media. Generally, penicillin and cephalosporins can be used for treatment. After tympanic membrane perforation, pus is taken for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, and appropriate antibiotics can be used according to the results.

Treatment 3: unobstructed drainage: 1-2% phenol glycerin ear drops can be used before tympanic membrane perforation, which can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. After tympanic membrane perforation, phenol glycerin should be stopped immediately. First, 3% hydrogen peroxide should be used to clean the external auditory canal pus, and antibiotics should be applied locally. 0.3% ofloxacin and other ear drops can be used in the recovery period. After the inflammation subsides, the perforation can heal itself.

matters needing attention

For this kind of disease: improper blowing your nose when swimming, or bad method when diving or swimming on your back, water can invade the middle ear from the nasal cavity. If you don't master the head posture, you can crush the tympanic membrane by making your ears jump against the water. Therefore, we must pay attention to the correct posture when swimming to prevent tympanic membrane rupture and middle ear inflammation.
