Question
Dear Baby, currently 3 years old, has been complaining of ear pain recently, with yellow earwax discharge, decreased appetite, and an uncomfortable throat. How should one treat otitis media in children for the best results?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used appropriately. In severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops may be combined. Painkillers can be given to the child when there is ear pain, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if there is fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. Multiple acute severe cases or those with tympanic membrane perforation should be treated with surgery promptly. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to prevention and health care in their daily lives.
