Penetration of infectious pathogens (viruses, fungi or bacteria) into the auditory tube often provokes otitis media. This disease is well amenable to therapy if it is performed in a timely manner. Therefore, it is important to diagnose as early as possible the inflammation of the middle ear - treatment of a mild form of otitis always passes faster and easier, involves the use of less potent and toxic medicines.
Treatment of middle ear inflammation at home
As a rule, hospitalization is not needed for the disease under consideration, with most otitis can be managed at home, following the recommendations of the otolaryngologist.
Treatment of inflammation of the middle ear with folk remedies is strictly not recommended by specialists. Their effectiveness is extremely low, and many prescriptions do not affect the pathogens and causes of otitis. The use of alternative therapeutic methods can briefly ease the symptoms of pathology, but not cure it. Temporary improvement in well-being is taken by patients for recovery, while inflammatory processes increase and spread, causing severe complications.
The only sure way to treat otitis offers conservative medicine.
