Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing itchy and painful ears, yellowish earwax, reduced appetite, and fatigue. How can I effectively treat her otitis media with purulent discharge?
Answer
Treatment should involve symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, along with regional therapy. Use anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment, and for severe cases, some painkillers may be administered. If fever is present, a fever-reducing medicine can be taken. In case of symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. Pay attention to a light diet, with liquid foods being the mainstay during treatment.
