Question
What is the effective treatment for a child’s decreased hearing due to otitis media?
Answer
Antibiotics are typically prescribed for children with otitis media, along with regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If ear pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered or a doctor should be consulted. In severe cases, such as perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consuming more vegetables and fruits can aid in recovery.
