Question
My daughter is 3 years old. This week, she has been constantly tugging at her ear, saying it itches. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent and somewhat yellow. She also has a headache and fever. How should one treat a child’s otitis media with earache?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotics or topical ear drops can be used to treat the inflammation, and painkillers can be administered according to the child’s condition to alleviate ear pain. If there is a fever, it should be addressed promptly with fever-reducing medication or by seeking medical attention. Ear perforation may require surgical treatment, and after recovery, appropriate exercise can help boost immunity.
