Question
My son is 8 years old and has been complaining of ear pain recently. I noticed that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How can ear pain from a child’s otitis media be effectively treated?
Answer
When treating otitis media in children, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medication, perform local treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and may use painkillers if necessary. If there is a fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Timely surgical treatment for perforated eardrums is also recommended. Maintain a light diet with a preference for liquid foods.
