Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should ear pain from otitis media in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When ear pain occurs, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media at present.

During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
