Question
A 3-year-old boy recently complains of ear pain, excessive and yellow earwax, and tinnitus with a slight fever. How should one treat a child’s otitis media and yellow earwax condition?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric otitis media, symptomatic medication can be chosen, including regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops, and moderate painkillers can be used when severe ear pain occurs. Consider using fever-reducing medication if accompanied by high fever. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media often recurs, so if there is a perforation in the eardrum, immediate medical attention is necessary. After recovery, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
