Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 7 years old. This week, she has been complaining of ear pain, along with yellow earwax discharge, a buzzing sound in her ear, and a slight fever. How should we effectively treat her yellow earwax and otitis media?
Answer
In treating such conditions, it’s advisable to give the child symptomatic antibiotic medications. Regional drug treatment can be considered, and you can opt for anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences significant pain, some painkillers may be administered appropriately. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child develops severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
