Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
After the child contracts otitis media, they should first take an appropriate dose of fever-reducing and pain-relieving medication. Then, have the affected ear pressed against a warm water bag wrapped in a towel, with the side of the head experiencing pain facing downward to allow the fluid from the ear to drain out. If the infant has ear pain, simply applying gentle pressure with a soft towel on the affected area is sufficient. It is also important to take the child to the outpatient clinic for timely medical attention within 24 hours.
