Question
How should one treat ear pain caused by children’s otitis media?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medications to their child, as well as use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. During severe ear pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, a moderate dose of antipyretic medication can be used, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical attention is required. Additionally, paying attention to a child’s reasonable diet and rest schedule can help promote a quicker recovery.
