Question
The 7-year-old girl says her ear itches and yellow earwax is oozing out. She has a lack of appetite and throat discomfort. How should the symptoms of pediatric otitis media be treated?
Answer
The best approach is to select some anti-inflammatory medications for the treatment of otitis media, using anti-inflammatory ear drops under medical guidance for regional treatment. If the main symptom is ear pain, consider giving painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, administer antipyretics. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. When tympanic membrane perforation occurs, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to providing a light diet and increasing nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
