Doctor's answer:

It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to receive treatment promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
