Question
A 7-year-old girl recently experienced ear pain, yellowish discharge from the ear, decreased appetite, and fatigue. How should otitis media with purulent earwax in children be treated?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for local treatment. In cases of severe ear pain, analgesics can be used appropriately. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. After recovery, it is recommended to increase physical activity and boost immunity to prevent recurrence.
