Question
What should be the appropriate treatment when a child has otitis media accompanied by yellow earwax and other symptoms?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms. In addition, parents can use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment, and provide the child with a suitable dose of painkillers based on their condition, especially when the ear is severely painful. If the child has a high fever, consider taking antipyretic medication, but if the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child’s condition is severe, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. At the same time, pay attention to providing light meals and increasing nutritional intake to aid in recovery.
