Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 8 years old and has been experiencing some ear pain lately. The earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she has a low-grade fever. How should I treat pediatric otitis media?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and painkillers can be provided based on the symptoms, especially when there is ear pain to alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and in case of high fever, medical assistance should be sought. In the event of an eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. During the process, it is important to maintain a light diet, increase nutritional supplementation, and promote recovery.
