Question
My daughter is 1 year old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there’s a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with drainage effectively?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Medications can be selected based on the child’s symptoms, and the effects are good. Parents can give their child regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops, and for children with obvious earache symptoms, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, medication should be administered according to the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment at a hospital is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
