Treatment of Acute Otitis Media in Children with Tympanostomy Tubes: A Caregiver’s Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
We compared the duration of otorrhea (a discharge from the ear) and caregiver satisfaction in children with otitis media who were treated with a combination drug containing ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone versus ofloxacin. Otorrhea was cured sooner and patients improved more rapidly after administration of ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone. Consequently, caregivers of children with acute otitis media with tympanostomy tubes were more satisfied with ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone.
