Question
My daughter is 3 years old and just started kindergarten. Recently, she has been experiencing ear pain, with yellowish earwax, decreased appetite, and fatigue. How should I treat her pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be considered, as well as regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment are required. At the same time, pay attention to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
