Question
Dear team, my son, who just turned 8, has recently been complaining of ear pain. Sometimes, he has yellow fluid coming out of his ear, and it continues to ring. He also has a slight fever. What are the treatment methods for otitis media in children?
Answer
You may consider using a moderate amount of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, you can opt for regional treatments, such as ear drops for inflammation. Use painkillers when the ear is painful, and if there is a fever, administer antipyretic medication or seek immediate medical attention. In cases of tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and living habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
