Question

How to care for acute otitis media?

Answer

Acute otitis media is a disease caused by bacterial infection. Treatment should involve the use of sensitive antibiotics and preferably be administered via intravenous infusion to quickly reach the affected area and exert its effects. Before the eardrum perforates, phenolic ear drops can be used for pain relief; after the eardrum perforates, antibiotic ear drops should be used for treatment.
