Question

Dear reader, my daughter is only 2 years old, and she has been complaining of itching and pain in her ear for the past few days. I found that the earwax is a bit yellow and purulent, there’s a buzzing sound in her ear, and she has a slight fever. How should I treat her otitis media to ensure the best effect?

Answer

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Regional treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, can also be used. For severe ear pain, painkillers can be used in moderation. If there is a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if there are situations such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
