Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old. Over the past few days, she has complained that her ear is a bit painful. This morning, I noticed yellow earwax oozing out, and she has a buzzing sound in her ear. She also has a slight fever. How should we diagnose and treat her mucus-oozing otitis media?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. You can also perform a bacterial culture of the ear secretions and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. If your child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If there are symptoms of high fever, the medication should be adjusted according to your child’s condition. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. If the patient develops serious symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate surgical treatment is required at a hospital. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to pay attention to preventive measures and health care in daily life.
