Question

How should otitis media in children with hearing loss be treated?

Answer

Common treatment methods for otitis media include the use of antibiotic medications. Consider doing a bacterial culture of ear secretions and using anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the results of the examination. Painkillers can also be used appropriately when the child experiences severe ear pain. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation occur, timely medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
