If it is determined and the patient has otitis media, exhibiting symptoms such as itching, pain and pus in the ear, the disease can be treated with appropriate ear drops in conjunction with antibiotic therapy. The nasal cavity and eustachian tube should also be kept as clear as possible to facilitate drainage of pus from the middle ear, which can be treated with appropriate 1% ephedrine solution or hormone-containing antibiotic medication in the form of nasal drops.
