How to Treat a Child’s Otitis Media?

A 3-year-old girl, just starting kindergarten, has been complaining of itchy and painful ears lately. She occasionally notices yellow fluid coming out, along with a slight fever. Question: How should a child with otitis media and ear pain be treated effectively? It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the symptoms are mainly ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is also a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. In case of perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
