She also had a slightly low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with an itchy ear in children.Doctor's answer:
When treating, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. Painkillers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In cases of severe conditions, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment is necessary. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in early recovery from the illness.
