How should a child with otitis media and ear pain be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 5 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt, and occasionally there is also yellow liquid leaking out. At the same time, her ears are buzzing, and she has a slight fever. Please ask: How should her otitis media ear pain be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for the clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
