TCM treatment of otitis media

summary

The baby is more than two years old. Recently, he loves to cry and dig his ears with his hands. At first, he didn't pay attention to it. Later, when he went to sleep, he found that there was some pus flowing out of his ears. At first, he felt very scared. Did he catch himself deaf? Later, he went to the hospital for otitis media. After medication, the symptoms have improved significantly. I'm so happy. Now let me talk about the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of otitis media.

TCM treatment of otitis media

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

For a condition like this: going out. In closed trains or planes and other public transport, or in poorly ventilated, densely populated public places, it's easy to get a cold virus, and it's also easy to make your baby suffer from otitis media. Therefore, when taking children out, try to avoid crowded places.
