Question
A 3-year-old girl, just started kindergarten, has been experiencing ear pain recently. The earwax is in large quantities and yellowish, accompanied by a slight fever. What are the best treatment methods for her otitis media and earwax?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, appropriate use of anti-inflammatory medications or topical medications can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain with yellowish discharge, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If there is severe fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used. In case of serious conditions, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Additionally, timely surgery may be required if there is a perforation in the eardrum. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a child’s reasonable diet and sleep habits to assist in the early recovery from the disease.
