Question
My daughter is 2 years old. This week, she started feeling ear pain, with a lot of yellow earwax. She has lost her appetite and is feeling weak. How should we treat her otitis media when she can’t hear clearly?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. Consider regional drug treatment options, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, you can give your child painkillers. If there is a fever, use fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and timely treatment is required if there is a perforation of the eardrum. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let your child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
