Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the methods and medications currently used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent earache symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. If accompanied by fever, some fever-reducing medications can also be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During daily life, it is important to maintain a light diet, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
