Question
Dear reader, my 9-year-old daughter has been experiencing ear pain this week. This morning, I noticed that the earwax is purulent and yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in her ear. She also has a slight fever. How should we treat her otitis media if she has difficulty hearing?
Answer
When treating this condition, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medications and also consider complementary regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, you may consider administering painkillers. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be required. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
