Question
My son is 6 years old. This week, he said his ears were itchy and painful. Additionally, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and he heard buzzing sounds in his ears. He also had a slight fever. What is the best way to treat earache in children with otitis media?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, along with local treatments such as ear drops for inflammation. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment is required, during which the child should rest adequately and consume more vegetables and fruits.
