Question
How should childhood otitis media with earache be treated, and what are the effective methods?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, one should choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for both local and systemic treatment. Anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used, and painkillers can be administered according to the child’s condition to alleviate severe ear pain. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. In case of perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment and surgery are recommended. It is also important to pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to promote recovery.
