Question
9-year-old girl, this week she has been experiencing an itchy and painful ear with yellow discharge, decreased appetite, and discomfort in the throat. How should children’s otitis media be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Children can use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. Consider painkillers if there is severe pain and yellow discharge; if there is a fever, consider antipyretic medication. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention as soon as possible; if there is a perforation in the eardrum, surgical treatment may be necessary. Pay attention to this disease and seek medical attention early. Pay attention to preventive health care in daily life.
