Question
My son is 4 years old and has been experiencing some pain in his ear for the past few days. Upon inspection, I noticed that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow, and there’s also a buzzing sound in his ear. He has a slight fever as well. I would like to know how to treat otitis media in children when they can’t hear clearly.
Answer
Treatment should involve providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. While taking medication, it is also advisable to perform some localized treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with severe ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, parents can give him fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, during the treatment period, it is also necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
