Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the current methods and drugs for clinically treating pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose symptomatic treatments, and regional treatments can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. In cases of ear pain, painkillers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely hospital surgery is required. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
