Question
An 8-year-old girl has recently developed ear pain, yellow earwax, and a low-grade fever. What are the treatment methods for children’s otitis media?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment for children’s otitis media primarily involves antibiotic medications. Symptomatic medications can be used based on the symptoms, along with regional ear drops for inflammation and pain relief medications to alleviate ear pain. Antipyretics can be taken for high fever. If the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly, and surgical treatment may be required if the eardrum perforates. During treatment, maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
