Nocturnal Pain

Introduction: Necrotizing otitis externa resolves best with antimicrobial treatment. How to care for these patients and monitor their resolution remains a problem. Our protocol in Bangalore can manage these patients inexpensively and well. Materials and Methods: Patients who were referred to our patients became the subjects for this paper. They were managed through our protocol, which consists of IV ciprofloxacin and meropenem, weekly labs, weekly examinations, and photodocumention. Results: Fifty-one people presented with necrotizing otitis externa (NOE) between October 2015 and November 2017 and completed our entire protocol. Forty-six had complete resolution of their disease, while 5 had to undergo surgical removal of necrotic bone. Six of 8 patients with facial weakness had improvement in their House-Brackmann scores. Reduction of self-reported nocturnal pain, dissolution of ear canal granulations, and normalization of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) proved to be the most accurate indicators of disease regression. Conclusion: Patients are monitored closely with review of their otalgia, examination of their canal, repeated ESRs, effective control of their diabetes, and radiological imaging. All this can be done in a resource-poor country, which in turn serves as a model for the wealthier nations.
