Question
A 7-year-old boy has been experiencing ear pain, excessive earwax, decreased appetite, and fatigue in recent days. Question: How should ear pain due to pediatric otitis media be treated?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotic medications and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. In cases of severe pain, painkillers can be taken, and fever can be treated with antipyretics. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If symptoms of perforated eardrum occur, surgical treatment is required, and attention should also be paid to a reasonable diet and sleep habits to aid in the recovery from the disease.
