Question
My son is 5 years old. These days, he told me that his ear hurts a bit, and in the morning, I found that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow. Additionally, he has headaches and fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media and ringing in the ears effectively?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. When ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used appropriately. If fever is also present, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if the condition is serious, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is advisable to maintain a light diet with mainly liquid foods.
