Patient's question:
Last year at the end of the year, water got into my ear, and I felt a bit uncomfortable in my ear, but it wasn't a big problem, and I didn't pay attention to it. Last week, I felt water coming out of my ear, and it was yellow liquid. After two days, my hearing decreased, and I felt like something was blocking it inside. My ear didn't hurt or itch. I went to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor didn't say much about my condition. He gave me Cefixime chewable tablets and Ofloxacin ear drops. Now I've finished the Cefixime tablets, and the water coming out of my ear has reduced. When I first put the Ofloxacin drops in, my ear hurt a lot. I kept using them for over a week, but my hearing is still not clear. This morning, when I used a cotton swab to clean my ear, I found a little bit of blood. Now I'm too scared to use the drops anymore. I don't know what's going on?Doctor's answer:
1. Chronic otitis media is a chronic inflammation of the middle ear mucosa, tympanic membrane, or extending into the bone, often coexisting with chronic mastoiditis. Treatment of otitis media. Recommendations:1. Etiological treatment: Treat inflammation of the nose and ear-pharynx, tumors, and allergic reactions.
2. Medication treatment: Intravenous treatment with ofloxacin, metronidazole, and amikacin is relatively reliable.
3. Eustachian tube dilation: Helps with tympanic cavity ventilation, fluid drainage, and prevents tympanic membrane adhesion.
4. General treatment: Rest, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
