Doctor's answer (1)
Ear pain in children may be caused by otitis media, which requires the use of anti-infective medications such as Pudi Lan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, otitis media ear drops, such as boric acid and borneol ear drops, should be used to alleviate related symptoms. If the ear pain is caused by otitis externa, antibiotics such as amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate should be taken orally or administered intravenously as prescribed. Topical treatments like lomefloxacin hydrochloride ear drops may also be used to relieve inflammation of the external auditory canal.
