Question
Dear parents, our daughter is just 1 year old and recently has been complaining of ear pain. The morning yellow earwax has a buzzing sound and is accompanied by a slight fever. How should we treat our child’s otitis media?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, one should choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment, such as using local anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child experiences ear pain, painkillers can be considered, and if there is a high fever, appropriate medication should be used based on the symptoms. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is necessary, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgery must be performed immediately. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
