Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has been constantly tugging at her ear, saying it itches, with earwax and a buzzing sound. She also has a slight fever. What are the treatment methods for the pain associated with children’s otitis media?
Answer
The treatment of otitis media should involve appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the symptoms. Parents can use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve the pain. If there is a high fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication should be used. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Common temporary treatment measures also include paying attention to the condition of tympanic membrane perforation and timely surgical treatment if necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
