Question
How should one treat a child’s earache and otitis media?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media includes administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and in severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. When the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be appropriately administered. If fever is present, fever-reducing medications can be given. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment may be necessary. Parents should pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
