Patient's question:
My best friend is very beautiful. She was once the most famous school beauty in our school. Last month, she noticed that her ears were a bit discharging pus, and her hearing had also deteriorated compared to before. She even experienced tinnitus again. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was diagnosed with a cholesteatoma of the middle ear. Hello, what should I do about a cholesteatoma of the middle ear?Doctor's answer:
Otitis media cholesteatoma requires surgical removal, and after the surgery, the ear canal should be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide. Once thoroughly cleaned, antibiotic ear drops should be applied to the ear canal, such as levofloxacin hydrochloride, to prevent symptoms like eardrum puncture. It is recommended to drink more water in the future and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods. Keeping a positive and optimistic mindset, learning to release negative emotions, and maintaining ear canal hygiene can help prevent the recurrence of the disease.
