When otitis media is still not well after taking anti-inflammatory drugs for 10 days, the course of treatment may be short, the use of medication is not appropriate, etc., you should actively seek medical attention, systematic examination, a clear diagnosis, and standardized diagnosis and treatment in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
Otitis media is mainly divided into acute suppurative otitis media, chronic suppurative otitis media and secretory otitis media, etc. Different diseases have different causative factors and clinical symptoms, and some of them can not be treated by oral anti-inflammatory drugs alone.
1. Acute suppurative otitis media: usually requires systemic application of antibiotics, which are usually given by intravenous drip; if the tympanic membrane has not yet been perforated and the effect of anti-infective treatment is not obvious, a tympanotomy can be considered to drain the pus; if the tympanic membrane has already been perforated, the use of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be considered to rinse out the pus from the ear canal.
2. Chronic suppurative otitis media: tympanic membrane repair can be considered, combined with the middle ear cholesteatoma patients, mastoidectomy is required.
3. Secretory otitis media: when the effect of conservative treatment is not satisfactory, it is necessary to strengthen the drainage of the middle ear, and can be treated by tympanic membrane puncture, tympanotomy and other surgical treatments.
When otitis media does not get better after taking anti-inflammatory drugs for 10 days, you can consult a doctor in time to avoid self-judgment.
