Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has been tugging at her ears, indicating itching, with thick and yellow earwax. She also has a headache and fever. How can I effectively treat my child’s otitis media accompanied by yellow earwax?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered during treatment, and regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can be chosen. Painkillers can be used appropriately when the child experiences severe ear pain. If there is a high fever, a suitable antipyretic should be used. In case of severe conditions, medical attention should be sought promptly. Common methods for treating otitis media currently include regional treatment, pain relief, and antipyretic medications. In the event of a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
