Question

How should one treat earache caused by otitis media in children?

Answer

For the treatment of otitis media, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medicine. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or if there is already a perforation in the eardrum, early surgical treatment should be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children early, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
