How to treat otitis media with drainage in children?

Answer

To effectively treat a child’s otitis media with drainage, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and undergo regional treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child has a fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention and undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, eats a light diet, gets plenty of rest, and avoids fatigue.
