Question
My son is 4 years old, and he has been tugging at his ears recently. There is yellow earwax coming out, and he has a decreased appetite and a sore throat. How can you effectively treat a child’s otitis media?
Answer
Currently, the most common treatment for otitis media involves the use of antibiotics, and it may also be considered to use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. Painkillers can be administered for pain, especially when the pain in the ear is severe. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention and undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to eating a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
