Question
Dear Baby, 1 year old, has been experiencing itchy and painful ears lately, occasionally with yellow fluid discharge. She has lost appetite and is feeling weak. How should I treat her pediatric otitis media with earwax and purulent discharge?
Answer
You can use a moderate amount of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication, along with local treatment such as ear drops for inflammation. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease and take their child for early medical treatment. They should also pay attention to preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
