Patient's question:
What are the causes of acute purulent otitis media? Three days ago, my mother-in-law's ears started ringing and hurting badly. She thought it wasn't serious. She went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. The pharmacist said she had otitis media.Doctor's answer:
Before use, you can use hydrogen peroxide to clean the pus from the external ear canal and middle ear cavity. You can use 3% hydrogen peroxide or boric acid solution to clean it. Then you can use cotton swabs to wipe it off or use a suction device to remove the pus. Then you can apply the medication and ear drops. You will gradually get better. During this period, you should drink more and eat fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
