What Is Bullous Myringitis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
Treating bullous myringitis involved treating the underlying cause and the symptoms it causes. Antibiotics are nearly always prescribed even if it has not been confirmed the infection is caused by a bacterium. Painkillers are also often prescribed to help make the patient more comfortable.
Much of the pain associated with the condition is caused by the blisters on the eardrum. If the pain is severe enough then a doctor might choose to try and pop the blisters. This can help relieve at least some of the pain, but it must be done by a trained professional to prevent damage to the eardrum.
