Question
Dear Baby, she is only 1 year old, and her ears have been a bit painful recently. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and she has lost her appetite and feels weak. How should one treat a child’s otitis media with earwax and pus?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods of clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose regional medication based on symptoms, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If there is ear pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If ear drum perforation or other serious conditions occur, immediate medical attention is required. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
