Does cefixime treat otitis media?

Cefixime belongs to the broad-spectrum class of antimicrobials and is a commonly used drug for the treatment of otitis media, whether it is acute otitis media or chronic suppurative otitis media, you can choose this type of drug first. If there is no significant improvement in 3-5 days of treatment, the antimicrobial agent can be replaced. For those with significant pus flow in the external ear canal, send the pus to bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test as early as possible to select the most sensitive class of drugs. If the general symptoms are mild, oral administration is sufficient. For those with more severe systemic symptoms, such as recurrent fever, chills, and loss of appetite, it is best to administer medication through the intravenous route. It is also necessary to use mucus promoters and short-term nasal vasoconstrictors appropriately, which can promote the ventilation and drainage of the middle ear cavity and improve the function of the eustachian tube, no matter which type of otitis media is beneficial.
