Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently developed symptoms such as itching and pain in the ear, pus-like earwax and yellowish color, decreased appetite, and fatigue. How should we treat her hearing loss due to pediatric otitis media?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media often involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms, and regional treatments can also be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, analgesics can be used appropriately. If accompanied by a high fever, consider using antipyretics; however, if there is persistent high fever, it should be treated promptly. In case of serious conditions such as tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment is required. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable diet and rest to promote recovery.
