Question

My daughter is 7 years old. This week, she said her ears were itchy and painful. I noticed that sometimes there was also yellowish fluid coming out. Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should one treat a child’s otitis media with purulent earwax effectively?

Answer

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Medications can be used according to the child’s symptoms, which have shown good effects. It can also be combined with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children with prominent earache symptoms. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Otitis media has the characteristic of recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated promptly. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. It is also important to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
