How to effectively treat otitis media and eardrum perforation

Eardrum perforation is mostly caused by trauma, but otitis media can also cause tympanic perforation. Many people do not know how to treat tympanic perforation caused by otitis media. Eardrum perforation caused by this situation can generally be repaired and treated through surgery.

1. For patients with otitis media and tympanic membrane perforation in clinical practice, if the patient is in good health, the best treatment method is to repair the perforated tympanic membrane in time with surgery. During the operation, the inflammation of the middle ear must be eradicated first, and then attention must be paid to improving the patient's hearing. In clinical practice, the degree of hearing improvement is generally determined by factors such as whether the patient's visual and auditory ossicle chain is intact and whether the patient's middle ear cavity is inflated.

2. In general, the surgery that patients can undergo under local anesthesia is myringoplasty or tympanoplasty; at the same time, the patient also needs to undergo auditory ossicle reconstruction; the surgery is generally not complicated, the effect is very good, and the patient generally has few complications after the surgery. Occasionally, some patients will experience temporary facial nerve paralysis after the surgery.

3. In addition, if the patient has symptoms of middle ear inflammation and pus discharge, then in order to prevent aggravation and eardrum perforation, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out in time. In the treatment, the effect of combining Chinese and Western medicine is generally better. During the specific treatment, the patient can take oral antibiotics and topical antibiotics. It should be noted that the patient is best to use two antibiotics alternately to prevent the body from forming drug resistance;

4. Patients who have otitis media should be careful not to stop taking the medicine when the symptoms disappear. It is best to continue taking it for 5 to 8 days and take some Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and detoxification, actively treat the primary disease and keep the pus drainage inside the ear unobstructed.
