Question
My daughter is 4 years old. This week, she said her ears were itchy and painful, and she had yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should we treat otitis media with yellow earwax effectively?
Answer
The treatment of otitis media requires symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops, and if the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by a high fever, cooling measures should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, and it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
