Question
My daughter, who is currently 5 years old, has been experiencing some ear pain recently, even with yellow fluid discharge, headache, and fever. How should otitis media be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and use ear drops for localized treatment. Provide appropriate painkillers to help relieve severe ear pain, and use fever-reducing medication if there is a high fever. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly. During the treatment period, ensure adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get enough rest to avoid fatigue.
