Patient's question:
Is pediatric otitis media easy to treat? It hurts every time I have a fever. I don't know if it's caused by otitis media.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Currently, otitis media in children can be cured. The symptoms of otitis media in children are usually accompanied by upper respiratory tract symptoms such as colds, ear discharge, a sense of ear fullness or pressure. If a child has acute otitis media, they may develop a fever. Younger children often cry without reason, become restless, or constantly pull their ears because they are unable to express their discomfort.Advice: Care and prevention of otitis media in children:
- After swimming, ensure water drains from the ear. Those with chronic otitis media should avoid swimming.
- When cleaning a child's ears, be cautious to avoid damaging the outer ear canal lining or eardrum, which could lead to infection.
- Get adequate rest and ensure sufficient sleep.
- Pay attention to indoor air circulation and keep nasal passages clear.
