A six-month-old boy has developed otitis media. What is the cause?

Patient's question:

On June 28th, the onset of the illness, the main symptom is pain, no hospital visited!

Doctor's answer:

Otitis media is common in children, especially acute purulent otitis media. Clinically, it often presents with ear fullness and pain, hearing loss, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, and reduced appetite. Clinical treatment should first involve administering effective antibiotics promptly, followed by maintaining ear hygiene and cleaning the external auditory canal of pus in a timely manner, using various anti-inflammatory ear drops. Ear cleaning solutions are typically 3% hydrogen peroxide. Anti-inflammatory ear drops can generally be selected from gentamicin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, etc.
