Question
How should one treat a child’s earache due to otitis media for the best effect?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, it is recommended to give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also to use regional medications, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe symptoms such as ear pain and yellow discharge, it is advisable to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If fever is present, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment should be sought. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods, and to ensure sufficient rest and avoid fatigue.
