Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old and has been experiencing ear pain with yellowish earwax, loss of appetite, and fatigue. What treatment methods are available for a child’s otitis media and itchy ears?

Answer

For the treatment of such conditions, children can be administered appropriate antibiotic medications. Conduct a bacterial culture test on the ear secretions and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. For ear pain, use a moderate amount of pain relievers. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be adjusted according to the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical treatment promptly. If there is a perforation in the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
