Question
How should one treat a child’s earache caused by otitis media?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional treatment can also be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If there is a high fever, antipyretic medication can be used as needed, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment methods. If the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits to assist the child in recovering quickly.
