Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication should be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
