Question
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten and has been experiencing ear pain and yellow earwax this week, along with a low fever. What are the treatment methods for ear pain caused by pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Antibiotics can be used to treat pediatric otitis media, as well as regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be administered to relieve pain if necessary. Fever-reducing medication should be taken when feverish, and if there is a high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In case of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. Keeping warm during treatment can help alleviate symptoms and prevent catching a cold.
