Question
Baby girl, 1 year old, felt itchy and painful in the ear and had yellow earwax this week. She has lost appetite and is tired. How to treat pediatric otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
For the treatment of otitis media, it is recommended to choose medication with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor. Ear secretion bacteria culture can be performed to use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the examination results. If the ear pain is severe, consider using a moderate amount of pain relievers. If there is a fever, use antipyretics in appropriate amounts. If the condition is serious, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation occur, timely medical treatment and surgery are required. Pay attention to a light diet, and liquid food should be the mainstay during treatment.
