Question
What treatment methods should be adopted if a child has otitis media?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, it is first recommended to use symptomatic antibiotic medication. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is suggested to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child is also experiencing fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to have the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
