Patient's question:
My little baby has otitis media, it doesn't smell, it's sticky, and it has lasted for nearly 20 days. The child shows no discomfort in the ears, is in good spirits, and has no hearing problems. Could you please suggest any good methods to improve this?Doctor's answer:
Children with otitis media are treated with antibiotics, steroids, ear drops, and other medications. Although these drugs can temporarily relieve symptoms, they are ultimately not a good method for treating otitis media. Medications also have significant side effects and can easily cause certain damage to the ears. They can lead to symptoms such as tinnitus and ear blockage, and in severe cases, they may cause ototoxicity or even deafness. Therefore, as parents, we should always pay attention to our children's health. It is recommended to go to the hospital and see a doctor for advice.
