Summary
Chronic suppurative otitis media is a type of ear infection. Students get information on its causes, diagnosis and treatment.
Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
Chronic suppurative otitis media is an ear infection. It causes fluid to drain from the ear for more than two months. It is common in children and in developing countries.
The Anatomy of the Ear
The ear has several parts. The tympanic membrane and the middle ear are key areas for this condition. Blood supply to these areas comes from different arteries.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves taking a medical history. Otoscopy checks for perforations in the tympanic membrane. Audiometry tests hearing levels. This helps determine the extent of hearing loss.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the type of infection. Antibiotics are used for bacterial infections. Surgery may be needed for severe cases. The goal is to stop the infection and improve hearing.
