    The incidence of otitis media is still relatively high, and patients with otitis media can often be encountered in daily life, but most patients will ignore their otitis media disease and think that it is not a serious disease. In fact, if otitis media cannot be timely and effective, some patients can be prolonged and become chronic, and some patients will even have serious complications, such as labyrinthitis, facial nerve palsy, meningitis, brain abscess, etc., so once there are symptoms of otitis media, you should go to a regular hospital in time for standardization. In particular, infants and young children are often overlooked because they are not able to describe their symptoms correctly, and if such patients have ear scratching, earache, and crying, they should be suspected of otitis media.

    2. Swimming can also cause people to suffer from otitis media, there are many people in the swimming pool, the water in it is not as clean as people think, and the ear canal is easy to be infected with bacteria and disinfectants when swimming.
