Question
My daughter is 2 years old, and she has been saying that her ears are itchy and painful for the past few days. This morning, I found yellow earwax coming out, along with a buzzing sound in her ears and a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media if they can’t hear clearly?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. While taking medication, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be taken as recommended by the doctor. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If symptoms are severe or if there is a perforation in the eardrum, medical attention should be sought immediately. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and (enough rest).
