For otitis media, phenol-glycerin ear drops or ofloxacin ear drops are recommended. If there is severe pain before the eardrum perforates, phenol-glycerin ear drops can effectively relieve pain and inflammation. For patients with acute otitis media prior to eardrum perforation, phenol-glycerin ear drops may be selected. However, if the patient has otitis media with eardrum perforation and purulent discharge in the external auditory canal, quinolone ear drops are recommended.
