Question
A 1-year-old female infant has been experiencing ear pain, yellowish earwax discharge, reduced appetite, and discomfort in the throat. How can you effectively treat childhood otitis media?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Parents can also use local anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with severe earache symptoms, painkillers may be used. If the child has a fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. It is advisable to seek medical attention promptly if the child has an eardrum perforation. Additionally, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist in recovery.
