There are acute and chronic otitis media, with acute otitis media occurring in children because their resistance is still relatively low. Mild otitis media is usually cured in seven to ten days. Once otitis media is detected in children, it should be treated promptly because if it is not treated promptly, the condition will deteriorate and purulent otitis media will form. Patients with otitis media must pay more attention in their lives, and the care of their lives is the key to treating otitis media. It is important to avoid contact with water, because if water enters the ear it is very easy to breed bacteria, which can have a bad effect on the recovery of otitis media. Therefore, patients with otitis media are advised not to bathe or swim, and if water enters the ear, they should promptly clean it with cotton swabs, but pay attention to the strength and depth. Moreover, otitis media is a disease that can easily recur, so patients who have had otitis media in their daily lives should pay attention to keeping themselves warm and avoid catching a cold. Once the virus or bacteria causes the body to catch a cold, it is easy for otitis media to recur again. Patients with otitis media are advised to be in an airy environment in their daily life to prevent swelling caused by irritation of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, patients with otitis media must be actively treated in a timely manner to prevent the condition from deteriorating. In general, patients who are actively treated can be cured in seven to ten days.
