Question
My son is 9 years old. In recent days, he has been complaining of itchy and painful ears. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he also seems to have little appetite and lacks energy. How can I effectively treat my child’s earache caused by otitis media?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms. While taking medication, you can also perform some regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child is experiencing ear pain, you can also give him painkillers. If the child has a fever, he can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
