  The treatment of pediatric otitis media should be based on specific causes. Generally speaking, otitis media mainly includes secretory otitis media and infectious otitis media. If it is secretory otitis media, conservative treatment can be adopted, which means close observation. But if secretory otitis media does not recover for a long time, then surgery is necessary for treatment.

  If acute suppurative otitis media is caused by infection, systemic anti infective treatment is necessary to effectively restore the condition. When children suffer from otitis media, parents should avoid letting them scratch with their hands or use other things to deal with it, so as not to worsen the condition and prevent infection.

  If children suffer from acute suppurative otitis media and do not receive timely treatment or improper treatment, they may develop chronic otitis media, which can lead to hearing loss and even serious complications. In addition, when children suffer from otitis media, they generally experience symptoms such as ear pain, ear stuffiness, and hearing impairment.
