Question
A 2-year-old boy. The child constantly rubs his ears, feels itchy, and there is yellow fluid coming out of the ear, with a buzzing sound. The child has a mild fever. The child has hearing loss due to pediatric otitis media. How should it be treated?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be considered; regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops, and painkillers may also be used to relieve pain, especially when the ear is extremely painful. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be chosen based on symptoms, and immediate medical attention should be sought in severe cases. If there are serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment should be sought, along with continued nutrition supplementation, a light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
