Question
A 9-year-old boy recently reported itchy and painful ears, with excessive yellow earwax and a low-grade fever. How should children’s otitis media and earwax issues be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic medications can be administered. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Additionally, if an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment is necessary, and reasonable diet and rest arrangements will aid in recovery.
