Question
How should one treat a child’s earache due to otitis media?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used, along with local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For symptoms of ear pain and yellowish discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the condition. If the child has a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, especially if there are signs of perforated eardrum. Additionally, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
