It depends on the context. If you are listing items or using it as a conjunction to link two complete clauses (complete clause meaning contains both subject and verb), you would use a comma before "or."
Examples:
Do you want juice, milk, or water with your meal?
I will either do homework tonight, or I will go out with my friends.
I will either do homework tonight or go out with my friends.
In the last example, there is no need for a comma because the subject is shared by both verbs.

"Otherwise" would typically require a semicolon before it.

∙ 13y agoIt entirely depends on the context. In some contexts you would put a comma before that word, in some contexts you would put a comma after it, in some contexts you would put a comma both before and after it, and in some contexts you would not put a comma either before or after it.
A comma corresponds to a place where you would pause if you were speaking the sentence aloud. There are absolutely no rules about which punctuation you have to use with specific words. English is not such a restricted or restrictive language.
