Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has recently been experiencing some pain in her ear. The earwax is yellow and thick, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat her for otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and use anti-inflammatory medications. You can choose regional ear drops for anti-inflammatory purposes, and painkillers can be used for severe pain. If fever is present, you can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if perforation has occurred, timely surgical treatment should be sought. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables.
