Question
Dear Baby Girl, 5 years old, recently reported ear pain, yellow fluid discharge, headache, and fever. How should one treat children’s earwax purulent otitis media?
Answer
The first choice for treating pediatric otitis media is symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Ear drops can be used for treatment, along with painkillers. When fever is present, antipyretic medication should be taken, and if the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention. In case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary, and during this period, warmth should be maintained to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
