Objective:
To compare the clinical efficacy of Antibiotic-Steroid pack with Glycerine pack for relieving pain and oedema in cases of acute otitis externa.
Study Design:
A COMPARATIVE STUDY.
Setting:
Tertiary care center ( S.N.Medical college, Bagalkot).
Subjects:
20 patients clinically diagnosed with acute otitis externa.
Results:
There were 10 patients in antibiotic-steroid pack group and 10 patients in glycerine group. There was female predominance in both the treatment groups and disease was most common in age group 12-20 years. There was no statistical significant decrease in pain and oedema in both the groups. But early reduction in sign and symptoms was noted in antibiotic-steroid group than glycerine group.
Conclusions:
Since the control of pain and edema is more and hence the number of visits is less in steroid-antibiotic packing group, so it is worthwhile to use steroid-antibiotic than glycerine pack.
