How is otitis media treated? The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it.

Otitis media Causes and symptoms Otitis media, commonly known as "rotten ears", is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the tympanic cavity. The germs enter the tympanic cavity, and when the resistance is weakened or the bacterial toxin is strengthened, inflammation occurs, which is manifested by pain in the ear (aggravated at night), fever, chills, bitterness in the mouth, red or yellowish urine, constipation, and hearing loss, etc. If the tympanic membrane is perforated, it will cause the middle ear to become sore. If the tympanic membrane is perforated, pus will flow out of the ear and the pain will be relieved, and it often coexists with chronic mastoiditis. If the treatment is not complete in the acute stage, it will turn into chronic otitis media, which will flow pus inside the ear regularly with the physical and climatic changes, and will last for many years. Chinese medicine refers to this disease as "ear pus" or "ear noma", which is thought to be caused by the prevalence of damp-heat (fire) in the liver and gallbladder. Acute suppurative otitis media is common in infants and young children, mainly because the Eustachian tube, which is the pathway from the ear to the throat, is shorter, thicker, and straighter than that of adults, and children are prone to respiratory illnesses such as colds and other colds, which can easily lead to inflammation of the Eustachian tube, and the bacteria can enter the middle ear and cause illnesses. In addition, when children eat and drink, choking, coughing, vomiting, food should be easy to enter the middle ear from the Eustachian tube, resulting in inflammation. Earache, headache, dizziness, fever, low-grade fever in mild cases, but in severe cases, the temperature can be as high as 40℃, which may be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and inappetence. Babies who can't speak cry and scratch their ears. 1-2 days later, the tympanic membrane is perforated and the pus flows out, the earache and other symptoms are alleviated, but if the treatment is not timely or thorough, it is easy to turn into chronic otitis media.
