Every mother's process of raising a baby can be bumpy, and it is impossible to avoid the baby getting sick. Especially for some hidden diseases, such as otitis media, it is not easy for mothers to detect them in a timely manner, which can easily delay the baby's condition. Let's learn about the best treatment for 3-year-old otitis media.
After a baby suffers from otitis media, the specific treatment method should be determined according to the baby's condition. If the condition is relatively mild, as long as the mother actively uses antibiotics to treat the baby, it can be quickly cured. At the same time, the mother also needs to ensure that the baby's ear canal is dry and free from water ingress. But the treatment time should be at least one course. Do not stop taking medication just because the condition has improved, as this can easily lead to bacterial resistance and make the disease more prone to recurrence.
If there is pus flowing out of the baby's ear canal, it is severe suppurative otitis media. When treating, it is not limited to antibiotic treatment. If necessary, the eardrum should be cut open in a timely manner to drain the pus in the ear canal. Only timely cleaning of pus can prevent adhesion of the tympanic mucosa.
To prevent the baby from suffering from otitis media, mothers should pay attention to the hygiene of the baby's ear canal. Especially during bathing, it is important to prevent dirty water from entering the baby's ears. If accidentally entering, use a clean cotton swab to clean the baby. Do not frequently clean your baby's ear droppings, as they have a certain protective effect on the ear canal.
