Question
A 4-year-old girl has recently reported ear pain, with sticky and slightly yellow earwax, decreased appetite, and fatigue. She is asking about the treatment for earache in children with otitis media.
Answer
For treatment recommendations, it is important to follow medical instructions. Consider oral anti-inflammatory medications, topical ear drops, and if the pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be used; if the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly. In case of perforation of the eardrum, immediate surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to alleviate symptoms.
