Question
The child was born without any issues, but recently, for some unknown reason, the child has been constantly scratching their ears. How should pediatric otitis media be treated?
Answer
Hello, if there is pus in the ear, you should go to the hospital to clean the external auditory canal, then use ear drops, and at the same time, it is recommended that you also consider intravenous fluid anti-inflammatory treatment, using cephalosporin drugs such as cefuroxime. Ear drops can be used during the inflammatory period, but I suggest you do not use them for a long time. Pediatric otitis media can cause significant harm to patients, so it is recommended that patients seek timely consultation with a specialist and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance. It is appropriate to engage in moderate exercise in daily life. Be mindful of preventing heat stroke, and I hope the child can recover quickly!
