Abstract

Background: The commonest ear disease in developing countries is the suppurative infection of the middle ear (CSOM). The otitis media with suppuration (CSOM-tubo tympanic type) is a common disease in children and adults. Various treatment options have been used to treat the disease. Aim: To analyze the medical management of CSOM-tubo tympanic: “The resolution of ear discharge by comparison of oral with topical ciprofloxacin VS topical ciprofloxacin drops only” Methods: Our study was conducted in a random pattern. It included patients of chronic suppurative otitis media reported to ENT unit-1 Lahore General Hospital, Lahore during 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2018. Data was acquired from hospital and pathology lab and analyzed using SPSS version 18. Results: The results of the study included a total number of 150 cases. They were segregated into two different groups. 75 patients in (group-A) and 75 patients in (group-B). The patients in both the groups were divided into two categories of age group (age 1-10years) and (age 11-15 years). We had 55 patients (73.33%) in group-A and 50 patients (66.67%) in group-B ranging in age group 1-10 years). However the age group (11-15 years) showed 20 patients (26.67%) in (group-A) and 25 patient (33.3%) in (group-B). Conclusions: We concluded that the resolution of ear discharge by oral with topical ciprofloxacin was significantly better than topical only ciprofloxacin for treatment of middle ear CSOM (tubo-tympanic type).
