Question
My daughter is 2 years old. This week, she has been constantly tugging at her ears and complaining of itching. I noticed yellowish earwax oozing out, and she has a poor appetite and a sore throat. How should one treat pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, anti-inflammatory medication can be considered to alleviate symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be administered. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, early surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to this disease and seek medical attention early. Pay attention to prevention and health care in daily life.
