What kind of medicine should children with otitis media take?

Patient's question:

Half a month problem description: Got otitis media and had ear drainage for a week with no effect! The medicine prescribed by the hospital is not available at the hospital!

Doctor's answer:

Children's otitis media is related to colds and improper feeding methods. If the feeding method is improper, it may cause choking while feeding, leading to milk entering the middle ear cavity and triggering otitis media. Additionally, children's eustachian tubes are short, making them more susceptible to infections during colds. Treatment primarily involves anti-infective medications. Dalifin belongs to the class of high-efficiency oral cephalosporin antibiotics and has excellent efficacy against bacterial infections in the respiratory and urinary systems. It is mainly used for pharyngitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, and pneumonia associated with children's colds. Therefore, continued anti-infective treatment is necessary. Generally, acute otitis media in children can be cured with active treatment, and it will not significantly affect hearing. Of course, if the treatment is not thorough and chronic otitis media develops, it may affect the child's hearing.
