Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 2 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, excessive and yellow earwax, a buzzing sound in her ear, and a low-grade fever. What treatment methods should be considered for a child with a purulent presentation of otitis media?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and perform local treatments such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, consider using a small amount of pain medication. If accompanied by a high fever, choose medication based on the symptoms. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. The above methods are common treatments for otitis media. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is needed. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as early as possible. Pay attention to prevention and health care in daily life.
