Question
Dear readers, our daughter, currently 6 years old, has been complaining about a bit of ear pain recently. There is a lot of yellow earwax, she has a poor appetite, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should we treat her otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
To treat otitis media effectively, it is recommended to choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance and to undergo bacterial culture of ear secretions based on the examination results. If the child experiences severe symptoms such as ear pain and purulent discharge, some painkillers may be used to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, appropriate antipyretic medication should be used. In case of severe conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation is detected, timely medical treatment and surgery should be sought. Meanwhile, attention should be given to arranging a light diet and increasing nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
