Question
My 9-year-old son has itchy and painful ears, with yellow fluid coming out, buzzing sounds, and a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used. Consider anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment if necessary. For children with significant ear pain, painkillers can be taken, and fever-reducing medication can be used for those with fever symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, surgery may be required. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist in recovery.
