Question
Dear parents, our 2-year-old daughter recently showed symptoms of ear pain, abnormal earwax, decreased appetite, and discomfort in the throat. How should we effectively treat pediatric otitis media?
Answer
The common methods for treating otitis media include antibiotic medications, regional anti-inflammatory ear drops, appropriate pain relievers, and antipyretics. In cases with severe fever or perforated eardrum, immediate medical attention is required, and surgery may be necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, sufficient rest, and to avoid fatigue.
