Question
Baby girl, 3 years old, has been experiencing ear pain recently, with excessive yellow earwax. She has poor appetite and fatigue. How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated in children?
Answer
Common treatment methods for otitis media include antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the situation. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, antipyretic medications can be given or immediate medical attention sought. In addition to medication, if severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely medical treatment should be sought. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to help the child recover sooner.
