Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has recently been experiencing yellow earwax discharge and a low-grade fever. How should one treat ear pain caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, one should choose appropriate anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and undergo regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment should be sought. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease, take their child to the doctor early, and pay attention to corresponding preventive and health care measures.
