Q A : treat chronic mastoiditis without surgery?

Question: how to treat chronic mastoiditis, is there any effective way without surgery? explanation please

Answer: Mastoiditis is an inflammation caused by infection of the mastoid bone located behind the ear. This condition can arise due to complications from an untreated middle ear infection (otitis media) that spreads in this area.

Bone infections can cause a collection of pus even damage to the bone so that the symptoms are felt such as fever, pain in localized areas, swelling, redness and hearing loss can occur. Treatment that can be done is to deal with infection with antibiotics adequately thoroughly.

However, in some cases where extensive damage and no response to antibiotic treatment may be performed a mastoidectomy (removal of some mastoid bone) to avoid further damage.

Discuss this complaint to the ENT doctor who handles you, so that you immediately get the appropriate treatment, given if left too long then the complications will be worsened.

The doctor will perform a detailed examination to deal with disturbances in the ear area and surrounding areas to ascertain the cause of the complaint. You can read related articles about otitis media here, hopefully useful
