How many days does otitis media pain take depends on the characteristics of the patient’s otitis media lesion: 1. If the patient has acute otitis media secretion, the pain may last about 3-5 days, mainly manifesting as tympanic membrane congestion, tympanic membrane invagination and other related lesions, and after applying antibiotics and antibiotic ear drops for ear drops treatment, most patients will have significant relief in about 3 days. 2. If the patient is in the unperforated tympanic membrane stage of acute purulent otitis media, the pain may last for about 7 days, and there is a large amount of secretion in the tympanic cavity of the patient in the early stage. Once the tympanic membrane is perforated and the pus is discharged from the tympanic cavity, most of the patient’s pain will disappear, but the disappearance of pain does not mean that the condition has improved, but rather that the condition has worsened.
