Question
Dear parents, our daughter, now 5 years old, has been experiencing ear pain for the past few days. There is yellow purulent earwax, accompanied by a slight fever. How should we treat the child’s otitis media ear pain?
Answer
According to the child’s symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered. In severe cases, consider regional treatment options, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relief medication can be used for ear pain, and fever-reducing medication can be taken in appropriate amounts if there is a high fever. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly, and timely treatment is required if the eardrum perforates. At the same time, maintain a light diet and supplement nutrition to aid recovery.
