If the child has severe ear pain, it is advisable to give pain relievers depending on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrients, with a diet focusing on light and simple foods. Additionally, adequate rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
