Question
There is a 9-year-old boy at home who has been complaining of ear pain for nearly a week, with occasional yellow fluid discharge and slight fever. How should one treat the ear pain caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
For the treatment of ear pain caused by otitis media in children, follow medical instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications. Regional treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is significant, appropriate painkillers can be given to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if the child has fever symptoms, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If these methods do not alleviate the symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Treatment methods for otitis media also include timely surgical treatment for tympanic membrane perforation. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to promote a quick recovery from the disease.
