Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old. This week, she said her ears were itchy and painful, and I found that the earwax was purulent and yellow, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should hearing loss caused by children’s otitis media be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regionally, you can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be given as needed. If there is a high fever, consider taking antipyretic medication. If the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently more commonly used for treating otitis media. If an eardrum perforation occurs, immediate surgical treatment is required. It is advised that parents pay attention to this condition, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in daily life.
