Question
How should one treat a child’s otitis media and itchy ears?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications (symptomatic medication) based on the child’s symptoms, and may include regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops if the condition is severe. For children with prominent ear pain, painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, a fever-reducing medication can be used in appropriate amounts, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to medication, if complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, surgical treatment may be necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended that children engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
