Patient's question:
My baby had a fever, cold, and cough a few days ago, which was quite severe, but suddenly yesterday, they said their ears felt a bit off. The doctor examined them and said they had otitis media. I would like to ask what are the symptoms and treatments for otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
Many parents, when their children have a cold, fail to notice that many fine bacteria enter the middle ear through the eustachian tube, leading to the recurrence of infection. This is the main reason for children developing acute otitis media. Because the digestive system of young children has not yet fully developed, oral medication for inflammation is generally not recommended for children with otitis media. Instead, local anti-inflammatory treatment for the child's middle ear should be strengthened, and the cleanliness of the ears should be maintained. In this way, the dizziness in the child's ear will gradually heal.
