Amoxicillin and Roxithromycin can be used to treat otitis media caused by bacterial infections, but the antibacterial ability varies and the therapeutic effect varies from person to person, so you need to choose the medication according to the actual situation.
Amoxicillin is a penicillin (β-lactam) antibiotic with good antibacterial activity against streptococcus, staphylococcus, Haemophilus influenzae and other bacteria, while roxithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is more sensitive to streptococcus and staphylococcus.
All of these bacteria can cause otitis media, and the choice between the two can be made based on the specific causative organism.
Otitis media can also be caused by other pathogens and viruses that are not as sensitive to either of the two, or are not the cause of the infection and are not treated with either of the two antibiotics. The efficacy of antibiotics may vary depending on the patient’s physical condition, the timing and regularity of treatment, and the severity of the disease.
It should also be noted that amoxicillin is contraindicated in people who are allergic to penicillins, and diarrhea, rash and other adverse reactions may occur during the use of the drug; roxithromycin is contraindicated in people who are allergic to macrolides, and the adverse reactions mainly include abdominal pain, nausea and other gastrointestinal discomfort.
In summary, the diagnosis of otitis media must be under the guidance of a doctor, according to the actual situation of the choice of treatment drugs and standardized use, do not dispose of their own, blindly use drugs, in order to avoid improper intervention, resulting in adverse consequences.
