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, pediatric otitis media can be cured. The symptoms of pediatric otitis media are usually accompanied by upper respiratory tract symptoms such as colds, ear discharge, a sense of ear fullness or pressure. In acute otitis media, children may develop a fever. Younger children often cry or become restless without apparent reason, or keep pulling their ears because they cannot express themselves clearly.Suggestions for the care and prevention of pediatric otitis media:
- After swimming, ensure water drains from the ear. Children 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.
