How to treat acute otitis media in children

Acute otitis media is the most common ear disease. This disease usually occurs in children. Nowadays, the incidence rate of adults is also on the rise. Children suffer from acute otitis media mainly because their immunity and resistance are relatively weak, and they are prone to respiratory infections and acute infectious diseases. So, how to treat acute otitis media in children?

How to treat acute otitis media in children? Experts tell us that most of the patients with otitis media who come to the clinic are caused by bacteria passing through the Eustachian tube. The pathogens of acute inflammation are usually Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic Streptococcus.

The pathogens of acute otitis media are mostly Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic Streptococcus. There are three routes of invasion: through the Eustachian tube, external auditory canal or middle ear. If you have acute otitis media, you must go to a professional hospital for examination in time, diagnose the type of otitis media, and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid acting on your own and blindly treating the disease.

Acute otitis media is mainly treated with a combination of systemic and local medications. It is mostly caused by bacterial infection. Antibiotics are very effective in treating acute otitis media, so we should choose sensitive antibiotics when choosing drugs! Drug treatment can use antibiotic aqueous solution or a mixture of antibiotics and steroid hormones, such as 0.25% chloramphenicol solution, chloramphenicol cortisone solution, ofloxacin ear drops, etc. At the same time, the ear drops used in the treatment of acute otitis media act directly on the local lesions, allowing the drug to work more fully. The patient should sit or lie down with the affected ear facing upwards. Gently pull the auricle backwards and upwards, drip 3 to 4 drops of medicine into the external auditory canal, and then press the tragus lightly with the fingers several times to encourage the medicine to flow into the middle ear through the perforation of the tympanic membrane. The body position can be changed after a few minutes. Note that the ear drops should be as close to body temperature as possible to avoid causing dizziness.
