Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 2 years old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful, and there is a lot of very yellow earwax. Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should we treat her otitis media with yellow earwax effectively?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child anti-inflammatory medications and perform local treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the pain in the ears is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If there are symptoms of fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely medical treatment is necessary. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
