Question
How should pediatric otitis media with earache be treated effectively?
Answer
For such conditions, it is advisable to administer antibiotic medications to the child and consider using regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers may be considered, and antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be considered. Moreover, parents need to pay attention to protective measures to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
