Question
My daughter is 3 years old and just started kindergarten. Recently, she mentioned that her ear hurts a bit, and there is more earwax, which is yellow in color, and she has a low fever. How should we treat a child’s otitis media if they can’t hear clearly?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, along with local treatments such as ear drops. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can be given in appropriate amounts to relieve pain. If there is a severe fever, antipyretic medication can be used in moderation. In case of serious conditions, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest to aid in recovery.
