Question
How should a child with otitis media and earache be treated?
Answer
Treatment should involve symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and regional therapy, such as ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered. For severe fever, a fever reducer can be used appropriately. In case of severe conditions like perforation of the eardrum, immediate treatment is required. Parents should take precautions to avoid recurrence of otitis media.
