Question
Dear readers, our 9-year-old daughter recently experienced itching and pain in her ear, along with yellow fluid discharge, reduced appetite, and a sore throat. How should we treat her otitis media with earwax and pus?
Answer
The most common treatment for otitis media is the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to the situation. Regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment, and painkillers can be appropriately administered if the ear pain is severe. If there is a fever, consider using antipyretic medication. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In case of eardrum perforation, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
