Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She has recently been experiencing ear pain, excessive yellow earwax, headache, and fever. How should I treat her pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media, and regional anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be considered. For ear pain symptoms, appropriate pain relievers can be administered to alleviate them. If there is severe fever, a moderate amount of fever-reducing medication can be used. In case of severe illness, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute attacks or if there is already a tympanic membrane perforation, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
