Patients with otitis media are advised to have a light diet and avoid spicy, stimulating foods and allergenic foods, as these may exacerbate the condition. Some patients may also develop acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis. Therefore, after the onset of otitis media, it is necessary to visit an otolaryngology (ENT) department, where a routine blood test and otoscopy can be conducted to assess the severity of the condition. Generally, the use of antibiotics for anti-infection treatment should be considered. During treatment, it is essential to keep the external ear canal dry and water-free. The treatment period is usually about one week. With timely treatment, most patients will gradually recover.
