Question
Dear parents, our daughter is just 1 year old and has been experiencing some pain in her ear these days. The earwax is purulent and slightly yellow, and she has a buzzing sound in her ear along with a low-grade fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric otitis media?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops should be administered, and painkillers should be given according to the child’s condition, especially when the ear pain is severe. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For issues with eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. Additionally, paying attention to a reasonable diet and rest habits will help the child recover quickly.
