Question
An 8-year-old girl has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellow fluid discharge, reduced appetite, and discomfort in her throat. How can one effectively treat the earache caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administering oral anti-inflammatory medication and using topical ear drops for treatment. In cases of severe ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be used. In severe cases, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention should be sought. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
