Question
Dear parents, my daughter is just 1 year old. This week, her ear has been a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she also seems to have little appetite and is rather weak. How should we treat a child’s middle ear infection and ringing?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric otitis media is to administer some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional treatments can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and purulent discharge, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If there is also a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretics and seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some common treatment methods. If symptoms of perforated eardrum occur, timely medical attention and surgical treatment are required. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure enough rest time.
