Question
My 3-year-old daughter, who just started kindergarten, has been complaining of ear pain recently. Occasionally, she has yellow fluid coming out of her ear, accompanied by a slight fever. How should I effectively treat her earache due to otitis media?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as ear drops can be used in conjunction. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers in appropriate amounts based on the situation. If fever is present, parents can provide fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe and there is a perforation of the eardrum, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Additionally, it is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child to the doctor early, and regularly carry out preventive health care work.
