Question
Dear reader, an 8-year-old girl has recently been experiencing a mild earache, occasional discharge of yellow fluid, a buzzing sound in the ear, and a slight fever. What are the effective treatment methods for ear pain caused by pediatric otitis media?
Answer
When treating this condition, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to consider giving some painkillers. If the child has fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a situation of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
