Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 9 years old and has recently been experiencing some ear pain. This morning, we noticed yellow earwax discharge. She has a lack of appetite and a sore throat as well. How should we treat the ear pain caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
The treatment of otitis media involves selecting anti-inflammatory medications under medical guidance. Regional treatment can include the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops, considering the administration of painkillers, and the use of fever-reducing medication as appropriate. Immediate medical attention should be sought if necessary, especially if there is a perforation of the eardrum. During this period, keep warm to avoid exacerbating the symptoms.
