Eardrum congestion has a certain degree of self-healing, but it is best for patients to actively control the inflammation. If the inflammation worsens, the tympanic membrane will be perforated, which will affect the patient’s hearing and cause pus and water inside the ear, even accompanied by tinnitus. Patients can use levofloxacin hydrochloride ear drops or ofloxacin ear drops, which can effectively play an anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling role. If necessary, patients need to take oral antibiotics, such as azithromycin dispersible tablets or roxithromycin dispersible tablets to effectively reduce the inflammation of the patient’s eardrum. After about 3 days of active treatment, the patient’s eardrum congestion should improve. It is important to keep the ear canal clean during the treatment period to avoid water ingress into the ear canal, so as not to aggravate the patient’s eardrum infection. If no improvement is seen after treatment, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
