Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 7 years old, has been scratching her ear recently, saying it itches. The earwax is thick and yellowish, and there is a buzzing sound in the ear. She also has a slight fever. How should one treat the ear pain caused by pediatric otitis media?
Answer
For such conditions, consider administering antibiotic medications to the child, or opt for anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. If there are symptoms of fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible in serious cases, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
