Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 9 years old. In recent days, she has been experiencing some ear pain, along with a bit of thick, yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. I would like to ask: What is the most effective treatment for children with otitis media and yellow earwax?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric otitis media, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. They can also use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops, and can give the child painkillers if there is ear pain. If there is a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child shows symptoms of perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
