Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years and 10 months old. Recently, she didn't have a cold but developed otitis media. On Sunday morning, she suddenly said her ear hurt and started crying. When we went to the hospital, they said her eardrum was red and diagnosed her with otitis media. They prescribed Cefixime (a cephalosporin antibiotic) and ear drops. She didn't have a fever. By the afternoon of the day she started taking the medication, she stopped crying.Doctor's answer:
Otitis media is caused by rhinitis and sinusitis, and a weak constitution due to colds can exacerbate otitis media. It is necessary to enhance the constitution and treat recurring colds, rhinitis, and sinusitis while also treating otitis media.Otitis media in children poses significant harm to patients, so it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be performed appropriately, but attention should be paid to preventing internal heat. We hope the child can recover quickly!
