Patient's question:
A few days after the child was born, recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How can pediatric otitis media be treated?Doctor's answer:
Otitis media is usually caused by internal heat, bacterial infection, or upper respiratory tract infection. The most common type is purulent otitis media, which is primarily feared to be complicated by purulent meningitis. Otitis media can be treated with antibiotics, and it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent the spread of inflammation. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume fresh vegetables with cooling and anti-inflammatory effects. Maintain a balanced diet, pay attention to lifestyle habits, exercise moderately to enhance immunity, and avoid colds to prevent the worsening of otitis media.
