Question
My child is 1 year old and recently has yellow earwax, a buzzing sound in the ear, and a low fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media if it affects hearing?
Answer
To treat otitis media, you can choose medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance and use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment as needed. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible; if there is a problem with perforation of the eardrum, surgery may be required. During the treatment period, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
