Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellowish earwax, decreased appetite, and an uncomfortable throat. How should I treat her mucopurulent otitis media?
Answer
When dealing with such conditions, it is advisable to administer a suitable dose of antibiotic medication to the child. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be administered as needed. If there is a fever, a fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, as otitis media tends to recur easily. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate medical treatment is necessary. It is recommended that parents take this disease seriously, bring their child for early medical treatment, and pay attention to relevant preventive measures and health care work in their daily lives.
