Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. These days, he says his ears hurt, and in the morning, I found that there is purulent, slightly yellow earwax, and he seems to have little appetite and is quite weak. How should I treat my child’s otitis media if he can’t hear clearly?
Answer
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can opt for regional drug treatment, and you can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give some painkillers to relieve the pain. If the child has a fever, you should consider using fever-reducing medicine. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child develops severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child, enhancing nutritional supplementation to help him recover as soon as possible.
