Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and she has been experiencing ear pain recently. I noticed that her earwax is purulent and yellow, accompanied by headaches and fever. What is the best way to treat her yellow earwax otitis media?
Answer
Current clinical treatment methods for pediatric otitis media include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose an appropriate treatment based on the symptoms, such as local application of medications, selecting anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. In case of severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment and surgery should be sought. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
