Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 6 years old and has been experiencing ear pain for the past few days. This morning, she had yellow earwax, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we effectively treat her pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
The treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms and may include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. It may also involve regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of severe ear pain, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. If there is a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used in appropriate doses. If symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In case of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
