Question
My child is 3 years old and is experiencing symptoms such as ear pain, yellowish ear discharge, headache, and fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
For the treatment of such conditions, consider administering appropriate antibiotic medications to the child and also consider regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain with yellow discharge, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If there is a fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation is detected, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure the child has adequate rest.
