Question
The 1-year-old girl recently showed signs of ear pain, with more and yellow earwax, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should otitis media be treated?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administering anti-inflammatory medication to the child and possibly using ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. If a high fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. If symptoms of perforated eardrum appear, immediate medical surgery should be sought. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, take their child for early medical treatment, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
