Question
Dear reader, my son is just over 1 year old, and his ears have been a bit painful lately. This morning, he had yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s otitis media and itchy ears?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric otitis media in clinical practice is the use of antibiotics, with symptomatic medications used according to the child’s symptoms, which has proven to be effective. You can opt for anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If there is severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. If there is fever, you can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be necessary. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest to aid recovery.
