It is impossible to say exactly which treatment is the best, since different methods of treatment are used for different causes of ear pain.
In the case of foreign bodies in the external ear canal, they should not be forcibly removed by yourself, but should be removed by a doctor in an appropriate manner and treated with anti-infection if necessary. Infectious diseases of the outer ear and middle ear are mainly treated with local antibiotics and anti-infection, but if necessary, systemic antibiotics and surgery are required. In acute suppurative otitis media, the doctor will temporarily use ear drops for anti-inflammatory and pain relief before the tympanic membrane is perforated. After the tympanic membrane is perforated, the doctor will first clean the pus in the ear canal, and then use antibiotic ear drops for anti-infective treatment.
