Question
My 8-year-old daughter recently told me that her ear hurts, her earwax is yellow, she has a loss of appetite, and her throat is uncomfortable. How should I treat my child’s otitis media when it’s accompanied by an earwax purulent condition?
Answer
The treatment for a child’s otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the symptoms, along with regional treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be administered when there is ear pain, and medication should be used according to the situation if there is a high fever. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and if an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment should be considered promptly. Parents should also always be vigilant in protecting their children to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
