What medication should I take for ear inflammation caused by otitis media?
For ear otitis media, antibiotics, glucocorticoids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can generally be used for treatment. However, it is recommended that patients use medication under the guidance of a doctor to avoid self-medication blindly, which may lead to adverse reactions.
1. Antibiotics: If the ear otitis media is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics can be taken under the guidance of a doctor, such as cefixime capsules and amoxicillin capsules, which can play an antibacterial role and promote recovery.
2. Glucocorticoid drugs: If the ear otitis media is caused by allergic factors, there may be local itching, redness, and swelling. Glucocorticoid drugs can be taken under the guidance of a doctor, such as prednisone acetate tablets and dexamethasone tablets, which can play an anti-allergic role and alleviate discomfort.
3. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: If the pain caused by ear otitis media is severe, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen sustained-release tablets and diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, which can relieve pain.
4. Other medications: If the ear otitis media is caused by a virus, antiviral drugs need to be taken, such as ribavirin granules and oseltamivir phosphate granules. If it is caused by fungal infection, fluconazole capsules and itraconazole capsules need to be taken.
In daily life, it is important to keep the ear canal clean and avoid scratching the affected area with hands. In addition, pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
