Dr. Xu Gang
Chronic otomastoiditis may be caused by chronic suppurative otitis media, but it could also result from acute mastoiditis. Additionally, delayed or inadequate treatment of ear trauma may trigger an episode of chronic otomastoiditis. When suffering from chronic otomastoiditis, patients can take antibiotic medications under a doctor's guidance to alleviate the condition, such as cephalosporins or penicillins.
