Chinese medicine can treat otitis media. The causes of otitis media are different and so is the treatment. Different types of otitis media are treated differently, and Western medicine, Chinese medicine and other treatments can be adopted. There are several TCM treatments for otitis media as follows: 1) for otitis media with secretion, treatment of expectorant, dampness and blood circulation; 2) for acute purulent otitis media, treatment of detoxification and pus drainage, clearing heat and dampness; 3) for chronic purulent otitis media, treatment of phlegm and pus drainage, nourishing Yin and lowering fire. In addition to treatment with herbal tonics, symptomatic dispersions can also be used to blow medicine directly into the ear canal, so that the dispersions can act directly on the affected part to help remove pus and reduce inflammation quickly. Acupuncture can also be used in the treatment of otitis media to promote rapid dissipation of inflammation.
