EFFICACY OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE IN THE TREATMENT OF EAR DISCHARGE THROUGH KENT REPERTORY.

Abstract

Otorrhea is defined as fluid discharge from the ear. Otorrhea has many causes, including disease middle ear infection, perforation of the tympanic membrane, or pathology of the outer ear canal. Otorrhea can be a sign and a symptom, and currently it is among the most common reasons for patients to seek medical treatment from an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. Many patients with otorrhea do not require hospitalization, but they do require several outpatient visits. Otorrhea is typically seen in one of the following five forms: purulent (the most common), serous, mucoid, clear, or bloody. There are several known causes of otorrhea; inflammation is the major cause of purulent, serous, and mucoid otorrhea, while head and/or ear injury are among the most common reasons for clear and bloody otorrhea.
