Patient's question:
Recently, there was pus in my ears, which caused unclear hearing. I used hydrogen peroxide to clean them, but the result wasn't good.Doctor's answer:
The ear is discharging pus, which may be caused by purulent otitis media. Perforation of the tympanic membrane and accumulation of pus in the middle ear can lead to hearing loss and a feeling of blocked ears.Recommendation: While cleaning the external auditory canal with hydrogen peroxide to remove pus, it is essential to use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, such as taking ofloxacin capsules or intravenous antibiotics. After the pus is removed, hearing may improve, but it is unlikely to return to normal levels. Once the inflammation is resolved, it is best to undergo tympanic membrane repair to improve hearing and completely cure the otitis media.
