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.
