Question
My daughter is 3 years old. This week, she told me her ear was a bit painful. Additionally, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her ear was buzzing. She also had a slight fever. How should I treat her ear pain caused by otitis media?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can use regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child’s ear pain and purulent discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can also be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a risk of perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
