Symptoms of otitis media and treatment typically require about 7 to 10 days for full recovery. If otitis media is caused by a cold, the inflammation following the cold may travel retrograde through the Eustachian tube, leading to infection in the middle ear cavity. After onset, patients should visit an otolaryngology department for blood tests and otoscopic examinations, which help determine the specific condition and guide targeted treatment. However, during treatment, patients must maintain proper dietary habits.
