Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional drug treatment can be chosen, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be selected. Also, according to the child’s condition, some painkillers can be given. Especially when the ear pain is severe, this can help alleviate pain. If the child is accompanied by a fever, parents can administer some antipyretic medication. In serious cases, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has an issue with a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment is required. Pay attention to maintaining a light diet in daily life and mainly consume liquid food during treatment.
