Question
How should a child with otitis media who cannot hear clearly be treated?
Answer
For children suffering from otitis media, it is first advisable to administer some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Concurrently, regional treatment measures can be taken, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with evident earache symptoms, painkillers may be used, and for those with fever, antipyretic medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are severe symptoms, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
