The symptoms of acute otitis media are quite varied, with common clinical symptoms including ear pain, itching, foreign body sensation, and a feeling of ear fullness. There may also be purulent discharge. If the inflammatory reaction is severe and not promptly treated, it can lead to tinnitus and hearing loss. In terms of diagnosis, an otoscopic examination can be conducted for a more direct and effective assessment. Treatment generally involves the use of antibiotics to combat infection, while also keeping the external ear canal dry and preventing water entry. The typical treatment period is about one week. Overall, effective control and relief can usually be achieved through standardized medication treatment.
