Question
How should a child’s earache due to otitis media be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administering anti-inflammatory medication to the child and considering regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, parents may consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits to assist the child in recovering quickly.
