|
Objectives : This study is to report the treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media with Bojungikgi-tang and acupuncture without western medicine.
Methods : A 57-year-old female patient visited my korean medical clinic on November 19, 2019 with complaint s of ear fullness and yellowish effusion in the left ear. The patient had perforated eardrum with yellowish effusio n. For the first month she took Bojungikgi-tang 3 times a day and received acupuncture 5-6 days a week without western treatment. The next month, only acupuncture treatment was performed twice a week. The condition of the eardrum and otorrhea was observed through an otoscope, and the degree of ear fullness and head heaviness were evaluated by visual analogue scale.
Results : During the treatment, the eardrum was reperforated once, but it was regenerated, the otorrhea disapp eared, and all other symptoms improved. Afterwards, it was confirmed through follow-up that the eardrum was maintained in a regenerated state.
Conclusions : These results show that the combined treatment of herbal medicine and acupuncture is effective for chronic suppurative otitis media.
