Question
Dear parents, our son is almost 5 years old. Recently, he has been experiencing ear itching, a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a buzzing sound in the ears and a low-grade fever. How should we treat his earache due to otitis media?
Answer
In the case of otitis media, the primary treatment involves regional spot antibiotics and the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers may also be administered to alleviate severe pain as needed. If there is a high fever, antipyretic medication can be considered. However, if symptoms persist, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In case of eardrum perforation, immediate medical treatment and surgery should be sought. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
