Question
Dear reader, our 9-year-old daughter has been experiencing ear pain recently, along with yellowish fluid discharge, headaches, and fever. How should we treat our child’s otitis media with earwax and purulent discharge?
Answer
It is recommended to select the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for your child to relieve inflammation symptoms. In some cases, it may be necessary to apply regional medications, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If your child has ear pain, you can use a moderate amount of pain relievers. Children with fever can take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest to aid recovery.
