Children with acute otitis media can experience extreme discomfort. If parents cannot treat their children's otitis media in a timely manner, it will also affect their hearing function. However, some people want to know how pediatric otitis media is painful?
If otitis media occurs in children, there may be swelling and pain in the ear area, stuffiness or blockage in the ear. In fact, the pain in children with otitis media is caused by inflammation invading the ear nerves, and the pain intensifies at night, making it difficult for children to fall asleep peacefully. It can be seen that otitis media not only threatens the physical health of infants, but also brings a lot of inconvenience to parents' work and life.
So when parents discover that their children have otitis media, they should actively seek anti infective treatment and choose appropriate antibiotics to control the worsening of inflammation. When the inflammation is relieved, the pain in the child's ear will be greatly reduced. Of course, parents can also cooperate with some painkillers to relieve children's pain. If a child develops a fever due to otitis media, it is important to use antipyretics in a timely manner to prevent more serious situations from occurring.
In terms of diet, parents should not let their children consume raw, cold, stimulating, spicy, and fried foods to avoid aggravating the disease. Moreover, children need to maintain smooth breathing to prevent blockage of the Eustachian tube and avoid affecting the recovery of the condition. In addition, parents should pay attention to their children's ear hygiene, keep their ears dry, and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
