Question
How should a child with otitis media and earache be treated for the best results?
Answer
Current clinical treatment methods for pediatric otitis media include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, which parents can choose based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops can be administered. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be given in appropriate amounts. If accompanied by a high fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
