Ear effusion refers to middle ear effusion, which may be related to acute secretory otitis media, chronic secretory otitis media and other diseases. General treatment, medication and surgery should be chosen according to the cause of the disease and the extent of the disease, etc. Currently, most of the commonly used treatments are relatively simple and easy to implement, and different treatments will play different roles in response to the cause of the disease and the symptoms, and there is no such thing as the simplest treatment.
1. Acute secretory otitis media: this disease is often triggered by infection, allergy and air pressure injury, resulting in acute middle ear effusion. It is necessary to reasonably use antibiotics such as amoxicillin and other anti-infective treatment, available furosemide nasal drops and streptomycin nasal drops, short-term use of glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone, and oral administration of mucus promoting agents such as oleanders. Tympanocentesis and tympanotomy are also feasible.
2. Chronic secretory otitis media: it is mainly related to pathogenic factors such as adenoid hypertrophy, hypertrophic rhinitis, nasopharyngeal tumors, and long-term stuffing of the posterior nostril and nasopharynx. When middle ear effusion occurs, it is often difficult to improve symptoms through conservative treatment. Most of the time, tympanotomy and tube placement and balloon dilatation of the eustachian tube are required under the premise of actively treating the primary disease and removing the causative factors.
When the presence of fluid in the ear is confirmed, systematic examination is needed to clarify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
