TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY OF ACETIC ACID EAR DROPS VERSUS CIPROFLOXACIN EAR DROPS IN ACHIEVING DRY EARS IN ACTIVE TUBOTYMPANIC CHRONIC OTITIS MEDIA

The study is on the role of topical acetic acid in comparision with topical ciprofloxacin ear drops in achieving dry ears in chronic otitis media. The hypothesis of study is  topical acetic acid administration is more effective than topical antibiotics in achieving dry ears in active tubotympa nic type of chronic otitis media. The aim is to compare the efficacy of aural clensing with acetic acid irrigation and topical ciprofloxacin in medical management of active COM tubotympanic type. The objective of study is to evaluate the role of acetic acid application in obtaining dry ears  and to correlate the efficacy of acetic acid application with microbiological culture sensitivity reports.The study will be conducted for a period of 2 years.Patient included in the present study will be distributed in to two groups, group A will recievw topical treatment, irrigation with acetic acid and aural toiletting, group B patients will be treated with topical ciprofloxacin ear drops.Patient will be observed for 2 weeks and at end of 7 th day and 14th day patient will be assessed.
