Is there a quick cure for otitis media with effusion?


I am suffering from otitis media with effusion (OME) for almost a month now. I am desperate to find a cure. Help me please

You don't state whether you have been prescribed anything by a doctor for your condition.

If you have been diagnosed properly, as I will assume you have, since you have the medical terminology of your condition, then you should have been prescribed antibiotics and an antihystamine by the doctor.

You need to dry up the fluids in your ear, and antihystamines will do that. Also, there is an infection there that needs to be treated with antibiotics.

I have had chronic ear infections for 20 years. I am very careful about getting water in my ears, and I can avoid getting ear infections by staying on an OTC medication that helps dry up my sinus passages.

I am recently recovered from acute bronchitis and sinusitis, and was lucky enough to avoid the expected ear infections.

See a doctor immediately. Hearing loss can happen if prolonged conditions are not treated.

The only advice I can give, which may or may not help you, is to try using a blow dryer set on warm to blow warm air in your ear.
I tried looking up what you can do and found that the current thinking seems to be "wait and see". If the problem persists,then surgery. On the other hand, the alternative health folks seem to suggest avoiding foods you may be allergic to, often dairy, sugars, preservatives, coloring, meats. Have you tried changing your diet? More fresh fruits and vegetables never hurt. Also adding garlic can help rid the body of infections in a gentle way. Here is a link to the search I did:
