Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to report a case of atopic dermatitis with otitis media with effusion and chronic rhinitis improved by oral administration of Galgeungabanha-tang. Methods: The patient of this case had symptoms such as erythema, abrasions, scales, and itching. She also complained of rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, cough, sputum, and ear fullness. Considering the fact that she was sensitive to heat, but did not sweat well, and respiratory symptoms often occurred, Galgeungabanha-tang was prescribed. Results: After medication, the symptoms of atopic dermatitis significantly improved from 10 to 2 point. The subjective symptoms of chronic rhinitis and otitis media with effusion also improved considerably. In addition, nasal swelling and purulent exudate almost disappeared. The tympanic membrane, which was swollen due to amber exudate, also changed to a normal gray-white color. Conclusions: Atopic dermatitis accompanied by chronic rhinitis and otitis media was improved after 45 days of medication.
