Question
How should one treat ear pain in children with otitis media?
Answer
Treatment typically involves following medical instructions and administering anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional medications, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, can be chosen. For children with severe ear pain, painkillers may be used. If accompanied by a high fever, the appropriate medication should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. If there are multiple acute severe attacks or if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be sought. At the same time, pay attention to providing the child with a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover sooner.
