Question

Dear readers, my daughter, who is only 6 years old, has been complaining of itchy and painful ears lately. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in her ear. She also has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s mucus-ous otitis media effectively?

Answer

When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Regional drug treatment can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be administered. If your child’s primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give some painkillers to relieve the pain. If your child is also experiencing a fever, parents can give them antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery are required. During the treatment period, pay attention to giving your child more nutritional supplements, and the diet should be light. Also, make sure your child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
