Question
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he said his ears hurt, and this morning, I found that the earwax was purulent and a bit yellow. Additionally, he has a slight fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s otitis media and ringing in the ears?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, it is recommended to choose symptomatic medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance. Regional drug treatment can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with pronounced earache symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has a particularly severe fever, some antipyretics should be used in moderation. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
