In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can be used, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, it is advisable to give some pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take medication to reduce fever. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
