How much does it cost to have fluid drained from the ear

If the patient has a secretory otitis media that causes the patient’s ears to feel stuffy and swollen, and active conservative treatment does not have a good effect, you can consider performing tympanocentesis to extract the fluid. Often the entire cost of hospitalization is around 7,000 RMB, and if reimbursed, the patient pays around 3,000-4,000 RMB on his/her own. Tympanocentesis is a relatively common procedure in clinical practice, and is effective in relieving the feeling of stuffiness and swelling in the ear and improving the fluid buildup in the middle ear cavity. After the surgery, patients need to be careful not to catch a cold, so as not to aggravate the situation inside the patient’s ear. Oral eucalyptus-pinocampus enteric softgel capsules can be taken to promote the drainage of fluid from the middle ear cavity. One week after the surgery, patients need to return to the hospital for regular checkups and make sure that the inside of the ear is dry and clean, so as not to cause infection in the ear.
