Question
Dear reader, my 7-year-old daughter recently complained of ear pain, with thicker and more yellow earwax. She also has headaches and fever. How should I treat her pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
For such conditions, it is recommended to administer symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child, and in severe cases, combine with regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, it is suggested to provide a moderate amount of pain relief medication. If there is a significant fever, appropriate antipyretic medication should be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly as otitis media is prone to recurrence. It is also necessary to pay attention to giving the child a light diet, supplementing nutrition, and promoting a quick recovery.
