Question
Dear Baby, she’s only 4 years old. These days, the child’s ear has been a bit painful, and there is also yellow earwax flowing out. Moreover, she seems to have little appetite and is quite weary. How should one treat pediatric otitis media with yellow earwax for the best results?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, it is first advisable to use appropriate antibiotic medications for treatment, and can also be combined with regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, painkillers can be administered to the child to alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, parents can give them antipyretic medication. If the child’s symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure the child has enough rest time.
