Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain. The earwax is yellow and has a purulent discharge, along with tinnitus and a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with earwax and purulent discharge?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance or adopt regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, analgesics can be administered as appropriate; those with fever symptoms can take antipyretic drugs. Severe cases should seek medical attention as soon as possible, and if an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment may be necessary. At the same time, paying attention to a reasonable diet and rest can help in the recovery from the illness.
