Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. His ears have been itchy and painful recently, and sometimes he has yellow fluid coming out in the morning, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How effective is the treatment for pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric otitis media involves the use of antibiotic medications, with symptomatic drugs used according to the symptoms, and regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops is effective. If there is severe pain, a suitable amount of pain reliever can be given. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical attention for their child early on, and pay attention to preventive health care work.
