Question
The ears often have purulent discharge, and the doctor has diagnosed it as otitis media. Although the pus has been cleared and antibiotics have been taken, the symptoms persist, sometimes good and sometimes bad. How can one prevent the occurrence of otitis media?
Answer
Infantile otitis media often occurs when nasal mucus enters the eustachian tube during a cold. To prevent acute otitis media, one should actively treat the cold and avoid nose blowing with both hands during the cold to prevent mucus from being pressed into the eustachian tube.
