Question
My son is 1 year old, and recently he has been experiencing ear pain, thicker and yellowish earwax, poor appetite, and a sore throat. How should I treat his otitis media and earwax pus?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Conduct ear secretion bacterial culture if necessary, and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the examination results. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly, such as for symptoms like perforation of the eardrum, and immediate surgical treatment may be required. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
