Question
A 3-year-old girl, just starting kindergarten, this week, the child said her ears were itchy and painful, and she noticed yellow earwax coming out, accompanied by some low fever. How should children with otitis media who have trouble hearing and speaking be treated effectively?
Answer
In treating pediatric otitis media, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, opt for regional drug treatment, choose anti-inflammatory ear drops, consider painkillers if the main symptom is ear pain, and use antipyretics as needed for high fever. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly. In cases of tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is required. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, with a focus on liquid foods.
