Question
How should children with otitis media be treated?
Answer
In treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. This can be done locally or by choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If fever is present, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take their child to the hospital immediately. These methods are currently the most commonly used for treating otitis media. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. It is also important to pay attention to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to help the disease recover sooner.
