Question

How to treat a child’s ear infection with earwax and pus effectively?

Answer

Treating a child’s otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms. Parents can administer topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment, and can also give painkillers according to the child’s condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery are required. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their child to prevent recurrent otitis media.
