Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Lately, she has been saying that her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should we treat the hearing loss caused by our child’s otitis media?
Answer
For the treatment of otitis media, you can choose medications with good anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance, and also perform local treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the pain is severe, some painkillers can be considered. If there are fever symptoms, you can use fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that parents pay attention to and seek medical treatment for their children early on, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
