Question
The 5-year-old girl has ear pain, itching, and yellow fluid discharge from her ear, accompanied by occasional low-grade fever. How should she be treated effectively for otitis media?
Answer
It is recommended that parents follow the doctor’s guidance to choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication for their child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. If fever is present, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment should be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide a light diet, enhance nutritional supplementation, and promote early recovery.
