Question
How should one treat ear pain in children with otitis media?
Answer
Generally speaking, if a child has otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be considered. At the same time, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for local treatment, or painkillers can be administered based on the child’s condition to help alleviate the ear pain. If there is a high fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication can be used. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there are severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate hospitalization and surgical treatment are required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the disease.
