Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been experiencing ear pain recently. He has noticed that his earwax is purulent and yellowish, accompanied by low-grade fever symptoms. What are effective treatment methods for children’s otitis media?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric otitis media, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Use a regional anti-inflammatory ear drop in appropriate quantities, and consider painkillers for severe ear pain. If there are symptoms of high fever, choose the appropriate medication based on the child’s condition. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is suggested to go to the hospital for surgical treatment immediately. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
