Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I had previously felt that something was not quite right with my ear, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Until yesterday, when I felt that there might be pus in my ear, I went for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have purulent auricular cartilage pericarditis. What medication should I use?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your records state that due to pus in the ear, a doctor diagnosed it as purulent auricular cartilage osteitis. I don't know which department the doctor belongs to. If it is indeed purulent auricular cartilage osteitis, the ear would not discharge pus; instead, it would present as redness, swelling, and pain in the entire auricle. If purulent auricular osteitis forms an abscess, it may lead to ear deformity. I recommend checking with an otolaryngologist.
