The doctor said the surgery is a good idea, but what are the after-effects of the tympanic membrane puncture surgery? The purpose of the visit was to hear the expert’s opinion on whether to do the surgery, after all, the child is only six years old. The result was that we were given some medication without any advice. Can oozing otitis media be treated? According to the information you provided, the diagnosis of oozing otitis media is still relatively accurate, but of course it would be more accurate if there were CT test results. The general principle is that within 2 to 3 months, conservative medication is the mainstay, and most patients can be cured, while a few patients cannot be cured by considering surgical tympanic membrane placement. The duration of medication is indeed long, ranging from a few days to several months. Surgery in children requires general anesthesia and is expensive, and water in the ear canal can easily cause suppurative otitis media in individual patients undergoing surgery. At present, we advocate surgery in 3 to 4 months when the treatment is ineffective, but surgery in February is also possible.
