Question
A 7-year-old boy recently told me that he has a bit of ear pain, and I noticed that there is thick and yellow earwax, a buzzing sound in the ear, and a low-grade fever. How should ear pain from children’s otitis media be treated?
Answer
Children’s otitis media can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, topical ear drops, or analgesics. For high fever accompanied by symptoms, appropriate medication should be used according to the condition. In severe cases, seek medical attention promptly. If serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum occur, seek medical attention immediately, and ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
