Question
My 3-year-old daughter recently complained of ear pain, with yellowish, purulent earwax. She has a lack of appetite and a sore throat. How should I treat my child’s otitis media to improve hearing issues?
Answer
Under a doctor’s guidance, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications to treat otitis media. In severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be considered. If ear pain is severe, you can use painkillers moderately. If accompanied by a high fever, you can consider fever-reducing medications, but if the fever does not subside, you should seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
