How to medicate for secretory otitis media?
Secretory otitis media refers to a type of sterile otitis media caused by the negative pressure in the middle ear cavity due to blockage of the Eustachian tube, leading to the exudation and accumulation of fluid in the middle ear cavity. The treatment of secretory otitis media includes both pharmacological and surgical interventions. Pharmacologically, corticosteroids such as dexamethasone and prednisone are mainly used. Some antibiotics, like cephalosporin antibiotics, may also be used. Nasal treatments, such as mometasone furoate nasal spray, are also necessary. Additionally, medications that facilitate the drainage of secretions from the middle ear, such as Mucosolvan, can be used. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
