Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advised to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
