Otitis media refers to various inflammations of the middle ear cavity, primarily bacterial inflammation. These bacteria are mainly Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Otorrhea in otitis media indicates relatively severe inflammation and the occurrence of a tympanic membrane perforation, allowing the purulent discharge to be expelled from the ear. In addition to indicating severe inflammation of otitis media, it is necessary to use antibiotics to control the infection. This can include topical antibiotic ear drops like compound polymyxin B ear drops and oral cephalosporin antibiotics, as well as intravenous infusion of cephalosporins to treat the infection.
