Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 9 years old and has been experiencing some pain in her ear recently, along with yellowish earwax, headaches, and fever. How should we treat her otitis media and the itchy ears?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric otitis media is oral antibiotics, along with regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. Painkillers can be administered for ear pain, and antipyretics may be used if there is a fever, but if the fever does not subside, medical attention should be sought promptly. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
