Question
Dear reader, my daughter is 7 years old. She has been constantly tugging at her ear, complaining of itching, and I’ve noticed that the earwax is purulent and yellow. Additionally, she has no appetite and feels tired. How should ear pain due to otitis media in children be effectively treated?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance. In addition to local treatment, ear drops are a common choice for inflammation. If the main symptom is ear pain, consider using painkillers. If there is a high fever accompanying the symptoms, use medication based on the child’s condition, and seek medical attention promptly in severe cases. If an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is required. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
