Question
My 3-year-old daughter has been experiencing ear pain recently, with yellow earwax and a slight fever. What should I do to treat the ear pain caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the situation is severe, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, parents can give the child fever-reducing medication. If the condition is serious, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, during the treatment period, it is important to arrange for light and nutritious meals to help the child recover sooner.
