Suggest treatment for chronic otitis media
Patient: My 11 yr old daughter have been suffering from chronic otitis media since her 1.6 years. Eardrum of both ears, as said by an ENT Dr, have been eroded. He suggested for an instant operation, failing which, he opined, irreparable damage may cause to hearing nerve & CNS. Xray Mastoids says that Sclerosis of mastoid air cells on both sides of ear are detected. Kindly tell me about the treatment and the operation. Is it recoverable? Doctor: HIWell come to HCMI really appreciate your concern, if the condition being treated for infection, and allergy and no satisfactory result found and it is the investigations suggestive of surgical condition then it is to be given try and it may not have any bad consequences, and if infection and allergy not being treated then these has to be given try first, in investigations MRI is the test can is advisable, it is also advisable to have second opinion, hope this information helps.
