Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, told me this week that his ear was a bit painful, and occasionally yellow fluid would leak out. There’s a buzzing sound in his ear, and he has a slight fever. How should I treat his pediatric otitis media to achieve better results?
Answer
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and also to combine with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child’s symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a high fever, please use medication according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, please seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical attention is required. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
