Question
If a child has otitis media with ear pain, yellow and thick earwax, poor appetite, and an uncomfortable throat, what is the best way to treat it effectively?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with otitis media, anti-inflammatory medication can be used for treatment, along with local therapy such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For earache symptoms, painkillers can be used appropriately. If fever is present, antipyretic medications can be taken. In case of severe illness, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment may be necessary. During the treatment period, ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
