Question
Dear reader, our 2-year-old boy has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellow and excessive earwax, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How can we effectively treat the ear pain in children with otitis media?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops, which also have certain efficacy. Painkillers can be administered during ear pain, and antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate surgical treatment is necessary, and attention should also be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
