    • Emphasis on meticulous ear canal cleaning.
    • Application of topical antibiotic-corticosteroid preparations.

    Main Results:

    • Simple treatment, including ear cleaning and topical medications, effectively controls acute external otitis.
    • Good local ear care is crucial for preventing both acute and chronic external otitis.
    • Malignant external otitis requires hospitalization and aggressive treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt and appropriate management of acute external otitis leads to favorable outcomes.
    • Preventive ear care strategies can reduce the incidence of external otitis.
    • Early diagnosis and aggressive intervention are vital for managing malignant external otitis.
