Patient's question:
What medicine is used for pediatric otitis media?Doctor's answer:
Otitis media is a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are the specific treatment. Sensitive antibiotics should be selected. Penicillin and its derivatives are commonly used. The route of administration is often intravenous infusion, or ear drops can be applied directly to the affected area to ensure more thorough medication action. Otitis media can be treated with antibiotic aqueous solutions or mixed solutions of antibiotics and steroid hormone drugs, such as 0.25% chloramphenicol solution, chloramphenicol cortisol solution, and ofloxacin ear drops.
