Otorrhoea

This is suppuration in the middle ear which is the source of all chronic discharges from the ear which were formerly classed as otorrhoea. Acute suppuration may pass into the chronic variety, which is characterized by a perforation of the tympanic membrane, a persistent purulent or muco-purulent discharge from the middle ear, and a certain amount of deafness.

There are various serious complications to which a person who is the subject of chronic discharge from the ear is liable, and measures should be taken to cure it as soon as possible.

The intractable character of this affection is often, in great measure, due to the neglect of that strict cleanliness which is so necessary to be observed. The irritating discharge, if allowed to accumulate within the meatus, undergoes decomposition, and gives rise to changes in the deeper structures of the ear, the nature of which may be inferred from the irritation and excoriation so often existing in the external orifice. A little fine wool, lightly introduced so as not to cork in the discharge, frequently changed, may be put into ear when the discharge is declining, to protect it, out of doors, in cold weather; but even this should be done with great caution, particularly when the discharge smells offensively, for nothing can be more prejudicial than stopping the ear with cotton wool to prevent its escape. Homeopathic treatment can promptly correct the problem.
