Question

My 4-year-old daughter has been saying her ears are itchy, with yellow earwax coming out, and a buzzing sound in her ears, along with a low fever. How should we treat her ear infection that affects her hearing?

Answer

The current treatment for pediatric otitis media primarily involves antibiotics, using symptomatic medication according to the symptoms. You can choose to use ear drops for anti-inflammatory purposes, and in severe cases, painkillers may be administered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and in serious situations, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate surgical treatment is recommended. Meanwhile, pay attention to maintaining good dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
