Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 7 years old. This week, she has been constantly tugging at her ear, complaining of itching, and I’ve noticed yellowish earwax discharge. She also has a low-grade fever. How should we treat the ear soreness caused by children’s otitis media?
Answer
During the treatment process, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child and use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers may be given as needed. In case of fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the fever is high, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
