Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old and has been experiencing some pain in her ears lately. The earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should we treat her otitis media with drainage?
Answer
To effectively treat a child’s otitis media with drainage, it is recommended to choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, perform bacterial culture of ear secretions, and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the examination results. When the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. If there is a high fever, consider using antipyretic drugs, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to seek medical treatment and surgery as soon as possible. It is suggested that parents pay attention to this disease, bring the child to a doctor for treatment as early as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
