Question
A 3-year-old boy is complaining of ear pain, a lot of yellow earwax, decreased appetite, and fatigue. How should one treat severe hearing loss in children with otitis media?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be administered, or regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the ear pain is severe and accompanied by a purulent discharge, painkillers may be considered to alleviate symptoms; and if there is a fever, a suitable antipyretic can be used. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is an issue with perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention and surgical treatment are necessary. Paying attention to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits can also aid in the recovery from the disease.
