Question
A 9-year-old boy recently experienced ear pain, with yellow fluid leaking from his ear, loss of appetite, and fatigue. He inquired about the treatment methods for earache due to pediatric otitis media.
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, symptomatic medications can be used based on the symptoms, along with regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For severe ear pain, painkillers can be taken in appropriate amounts. If accompanied by a high fever, consider taking antipyretic medication, but if the fever persists, seek medical attention immediately. In case of eardrum perforation, surgery should be sought promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise and strengthen immunity to prevent recurrence.
