If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain-relieving medication based on the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible.
