Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Lately, she has been experiencing some pain in her ear. In the morning, there’s a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat her ear pain if she has otitis media?
Answer
If your child has otitis media, you can use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. You can also combine it with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for medical treatment. You can also give her some painkillers based on her condition, especially when the pain is severe, which can help alleviate the discomfort. If your child is accompanied by a fever, you can give her some medication with antipyretic effects. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child has a perforated eardrum, you need to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
