The optimal treatment for chronic otomastoiditis depends on the severity of the individual patient's condition. In early cases involving only otomastoiditis, antibiotic therapy under a doctor's guidance may be sufficient. However, if the otomastoiditis is accompanied by pus discharge and swelling, surgical intervention is required. In daily life, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods, and must not smoke or consume alcohol excessively.
