Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is childhood otitis media, can give the child some antibiotics, which is relatively effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child primarily exhibits ear pain symptoms, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical treatment from a hospital as soon as possible. If there is a condition of tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for the child to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
