Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has been complaining of ear pain recently. There is yellow earwax discharge, and she also has a headache and fever. How should I treat her pediatric otitis media to achieve the best results?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric otitis media, symptomatic medication can be used based on the child’s symptoms, along with regional treatment using anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. In case of severe conditions, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child has a ruptured eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical treatment for surgery as soon as possible. It is also important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
