[Treatment of chronic otitis media in continuous or recurrent purulent discharge].

It is proposed to treat otitis media purulenta chronica with combination of antibacterial and, on demand, antifungal drugs. Pumping the drugs into the airways of the middle ear produces better results than routine drops. If local or general treatment is uneffective, it is recommended to conduct mastoidotomy followed by mastoidoplasty. This allows to arrest persistent purulent discharge and conversion of the purulent process into a dry one.
