Question
My 3-year-old daughter has just started kindergarten and has been experiencing some ear pain lately. This morning, there was a lot of earwax, which appeared yellowish, and she has also lost her appetite and is easily tired. How should one treat pediatric otitis media with purulent earwax?
Answer
For the treatment of such conditions, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the situation is more severe, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If there are fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. If the condition is serious, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above are common treatment methods. If symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation occur, timely medical treatment and surgery should be sought. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms due to colds.
