Question
My 8-year-old daughter recently developed ear pain, yellowish, purulent earwax, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should the pain from pediatric otitis media be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media can include antibiotic medications, topical medications, anti-inflammatory ear drops, and pain relievers. If the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Perforation of the eardrum may require surgical treatment. At the same time, parents need to pay attention to protective measures to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
