How can suppurative otitis media be treated

The treatment of suppurative otitis media mainly includes drug treatment and surgical treatment.

1. Drug treatment

For patients with unobstructed drainage, penicillin, cefixime and other drugs can be used for treatment, and ofloxacin ear drops can also be used for anti-inflammatory treatment of the ear. For patients with tympanic membrane congestion, edema and increased secretions, glucocorticoids such as prednisone, dexamethasone, etc. can be given when necessary.

2. Surgical treatment

For severe earache, tympanic membrane protrusion or perforation, and poor drainage, tympanoplasty may be required, which can improve hearing and preserve hearing. In addition, myringotomy is also an option. This surgery is mainly suitable for patients with obvious tympanocele, perforation is too small, and suspicious complications. Real-time myringotomy can facilitate unobstructed drainage and facilitate the dissipation of inflammation.

Please note that these are only possible treatment options, and the specific treatment methods should be determined according to the patient's condition and doctor's recommendations.
