Good afternoon, dear readers!
Today we will talk about such an unpleasant and painful disease as otitis media. Otitis is an inflammation of the ear that can be acute or chronic. In the article we will talk about acute purulent otitis media of the middle ear - o.media purulenta acuta.
Acute purulent otitis media is one of the most unpleasant, but not the most serious ear diseases. However, if treatment is not started in time, this can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important to know the symptoms of the disease and seek help from a doctor as soon as possible.
With purulent acute otitis, the patient feels severe pain in the ear, which can radiate to neighboring areas, and is also accompanied by elevated body temperature, nausea and vomiting, general malaise and loss of appetite. In some cases, purulent discharge from the ear may appear.
The first signs of acute purulent otitis media are mild pain and noise in the ears, mucus discharge during sleep or sleep, and increased body temperature. If you notice these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately! Treatment of acute purulent otitis media is carried out in a hospital and only under the supervision of a doctor. It includes antibiotic therapy, vasoconstrictor drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy. Also, during treatment, the patient should remain in bed, drink more fluids and eat only light foods so as not to irritate the ears.
