Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 7 years old and has been saying her ears are itchy and painful for the past few days. The morning earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, her appetite is not good, and her throat is also uncomfortable. How should otitis media with earache be medically treated?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance or use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops. For cases with ear pain and purulent discharge, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If there is a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. Ensure the child gets adequate rest and increases their intake of fruits and vegetables.
