Question
How should otitis media with drainage in children be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, along with regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, analgesics can be administered. If there is a high fever, consider fever-reducing medications, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a perforation in the eardrum, immediate medical treatment should be sought. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor for treatment early on, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
