Question
My daughter is 2 years old and has had yellow earwax, poor appetite, and fatigue for the past few days. How should I treat the earache caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, it can be initially treated with regional antibiotic medications and anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be given to the child, and fever can be treated with antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, immediate surgery is recommended. During treatment, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
