How to treat otitis??

Calendula tincture on cotton and into the ears.

Chloramphenicol 20 mg per kg of body weight once orally, then as needed.

Antibiotics, most likely

If the drops don't help, you'll have to take antibiotics. Usually, for ENT inflammations, Augmentin is prescribed.

Be sure to consult a doctor. From my own experience, I can recommend Polydex ear drops, which is an antibiotic. The drops work quickly and effectively, treating otitis in about a week.

Ottipax. But Sofradex is also an antibiotic??!!! Are you sure it's the ear? It could be the tooth or the throat.

If it doesn't help, the infection has likely progressed, and antibiotics are needed. My ears often hurt, but I've only needed antibiotics a couple of times. Usually, I make a compress with boric alcohol at night (just lightly moisten a cotton ball and place it in the ear canal), and that helps.

Yes, indeed, author, try antibiotics. My sister constantly suffers from ear infections, she uses Polydex ear drops, and it always helps her quickly.

Otipax

Polydex ear drops are a good medication. It's an antibiotic, powerful drops against otitis, they cure quickly. But really, do consult a doctor first.

I see everyone here praising Polydex. What's so special about it? In my opinion, it's just ordinary drops. Does it really help everyone that much??

Yes, it helps. It's a potent antibiotic that contains dexamethasone. Because of this, the drops provide comprehensive action—anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-edema.

Polydex differs from Sofradex by replacing one of the three components—gramicidin with polymyxin. Accordingly, this changes the spectrum of antimicrobial activity.

I can't speak to Sofradex, but regarding Polydex ear drops, I can say they have a very strong anti-edema effect.

And be sure to put drops in your nose; I was prescribed Vibrocil.

At an early stage, calendula tincture always helps, it's truly a miracle remedy. If it gets worse, then Otisol drops, and if it's really severe, then the antibiotic Augmentin.

It's strange that it's Sofradex.

Is the doctor incompetent or what??

If it's acute otitis (the ear just hurts but isn't draining), Otipax is better (it contains Lidocaine) and it relieves pain well.

If the ear is draining, then Cipromed or Ciprolet are better.

Sofradex is also good for drying it out, but it doesn't relieve pain.

Also, for acute otitis, physical therapy is a MUST!

Well, or at least do compresses at home. And when going outside, put cotton wool soaked in camphor alcohol in your ear, and lightly wring out the cotton (to avoid burning the ear canal).

I've had otitis since childhood, then it turned into epitympanitis, and it all ended with labyrinthitis (almost kicked the bucket).

I MET wonderful doctors (a husband and wife) LATE. First, she treated me, and then HE restored my hearing.

If it's external otitis without eardrum damage (it's best to consult a doctor about this), try Polydex ear drops. Apply twice a day for 6-10 days.

If wiping with vodka (well-purified moonshine at 65 "proof" and medical alcohol are not always available) does not lead to rapid and significant improvement, then drops/ointments like Polydex, chlorhexidine, or cortomycin are also unlikely to help.
If a microbial surface or minor focal inflammation is treated for 7–10 days, it usually resolves on its own.

If a microbial surface or small-focal inflammation is treated for 7–10 days, it usually resolves on its own.

Is it constantly for the very reason that the Siamese cat chews on ears? Maybe it makes sense to feed the cat cotrimoxazole or ciprofloxacin or chloramphenicol; mine eat that quite well, but they are Angora half-breeds.

Guest, ENT conditions should not be left untreated or attempted to be cured with folk remedies like vodka! This can lead to serious consequences. The author of the thread needs to see a doctor, who will prescribe an effective treatment. And you are wrong to say that drops are almost useless: I used Polydex ear drops for myself, and I can say they are very powerful drops that helped me quickly get rid of otitis! You just need to take them as instructed, twice a day for 6-10 days!

Otipax

Yes, Otipax really helps.

Otipax didn't help me at all, it only made things worse when I had otitis. In my opinion, Polydex is better—you need to apply it twice a day for 7-10 days, and everything will clear up. Buy these drops; they should definitely be in your medicine cabinet. Although, of course, it's best to see a doctor.

If local ethanol treatment doesn't help, then other topical medications are also unlikely to provide a full effect, and systemic antimicrobials will be needed.

Would you prefer to take 2 pills and go about your business, or wait for a doctor's appointment and treat otogenic sepsis, especially since emergency services don't always respond to external otitis?

Or perhaps you manufacture topical medications, in which case I completely understand. Or maybe you've learned to use topical treatments at the earliest symptoms, unlike many others.

I treated it like this: I would drop boric acid from a pipette into the ear, then wipe away the foam that formed. Also, prevention with "Phyto-candles" (sold at the pharmacy, costs pennies, no contraindications), plus alcohol compresses on the sore ear overnight.

Help a fellow sufferer, if you're in Moscow? Who are these doctors? Is it possible to get an appointment with them? I've been suffering from otitis for over 10 years. I'm at my wit's end. And it's the same thing every year: antibiotics, physio, and a dirty head for weeks. But every cold always goes straight to my ears, no matter what I do.

Get a culture from the ear and you'll find out.

I was treated with Polydex ear drops, prescribed by my doctor. It's an excellent remedy: a strong antibiotic that specifically helps against ear infections, quickly reduces inflammation and itching)) I'm very satisfied.

Otipax is our everything.

An alternative to Otipax (more effective, in my opinion, and cheaper) is Polydex ear drops. It works quickly, doesn't irritate, relieves all symptoms, and the active ingredient dexamethasone targets the microbes—disease cured! However, it is an antibiotic, so please see a doctor first :)

What if you take Cifran?

It didn't help us... I treated my son with Polydex ear drops, prescribed by the doctor. It's a very good medication, in drop form, gentle but very effective. And the price is quite reasonable.

Who has treated an ear infection with geranium essential oil? Can you provide more details? Thank you.

Don't treat yourself with geranium oil, owl feathers, avocado pulp, or other folk remedies. Use proper medications to avoid harming yourself. My ENT doctor also recommended Polydex ear drops—a potent antibiotic that reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching. I cured my otitis with it in a fairly short time. But there are contraindications, so see a doctor first.

Yes, Polydex ear drops are effective. My son was prescribed them by a doctor for otitis, and the pain and congestion went away within days. Very effective drops.

I treated otitis with drops and antibiotics for 3 days... but after 2 days it started hurting again. Otipax drops should not be used if there is blood or pus coming from the ear!

So, what should I do? I'm treating an ear infection with antibiotics, but the same symptoms are coming back. What should I do?

Alina, which antibiotic? Go to the doctor, let them tell you whether to continue or change the antibiotic! I was treated with Polydexa ear drops, my ENT prescribed these drops a few months ago. The ear pain and congestion went away quite quickly thanks to these drops.

Acute otitis media is characterized by severe pain, unlike the chronic form, which causes only mild discomfort to the patient. Its primary manifestation is purulent discharge. Symptoms such as ear congestion, hearing loss, and a feeling of heaviness in the head may also occur. Sometimes the clinical picture may resemble a typical course of an acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI), with chills, sweating, and fever. If ear pain occurs, it is essential to consult a doctor immediately, as self-treatment with home remedies can lead to serious complications. After an examination, the doctor may recommend tympanometry to assess the patency of the auditory tube. If otitis becomes inflammatory and symptoms of intoxication appear, antibiotic treatment is necessary. Local treatment involves the use of vasoconstrictor drops in the nose and ear. These measures help improve the function of the auditory tube from the nasopharyngeal and nasal cavities. If the fluid accumulated in the middle ear cavity becomes purulent, a procedure called paracentesis—an incision in the eardrum—may be required.

Hello! My name is Arut Grigorievich. I am ready to help you deal with otitis.

Help!!!! Otitis in both ears!!!!! What should I do!!!!! Pain((((((((((((

I need your contact information.

I've had chronic otitis media since childhood. Once again, my ear started draining, and I went back to the doctor. The responsible doctor insisted on getting a CT scan of the temporal bone pyramids, prescribed Otofa ear drops and Augmentin. The pain went away in just three days. But a week later, while on vacation at the seaside and under the air conditioner, my ear started draining so badly that neither the drops nor the antibiotics helped anymore. The pharmacist at the pharmacy, when I went to get herbal ear candles again (I thought they made me feel better), strongly advised against them, saying they could cause swelling and make things worse. Instead, she recommended UmkaLor and an anti-inflammatory herbal tea for ENT issues—I forgot what it's called! Guys, not only did my ears clear up, but also my constant runny nose—I used to not be able to live without nasal drops! Give it a try, it's definitely safe—it's herbal!
Stay healthy!

Please help! Where can I find these doctors? For 4 months, they haven't been able to reduce the inflammation and restore the function of my Eustachian tube. There's fluid in my ears. It's started to hurt behind my ears. I'm afraid this is already a serious complication. I have a very young daughter. There's no father. And I can't even work, let alone go outside. Everything flares up immediately. Life has turned into a nightmare and constant hysterics!

Hello, could you possibly recommend your specialists to me? My email is jane_smith@bk.ru. Thank you very much.

I recently had a middle ear infection. The symptoms were dizziness, loss of balance, tinnitus, and irritability. I lost hearing in my left ear. I went to an ENT doctor, who flushed both of my ears. I used Otipax for a week, after which I was prescribed intravenous antibiotics (ceftriaxone) and intramuscular vitamins B5 and B6. After a week of treatment, my left ear can hear everything again, thanks to the antibiotics. My advice: keep your head warm and avoid using headphones!))))))))))))

I had been suffering from prolonged ear discharge for a long time. I sought treatment from many doctors and tried various methods. Only at the Sichinava Clinic in Moscow was I cured by Dr. Nikolai Ivanovich Nekkrasov. Now, whenever there is a flare-up, I turn only to him. He is a very experienced doctor.
