Question
My daughter is 9 years old, and she has been constantly tugging at her ear, saying it itches, along with yellow fluid coming out, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should I treat her otitis media with yellow earwax for the best effect?
Answer
Generally speaking, for children with otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be administered, which usually shows significant results. At the same time, while taking medication, regional treatment can be carried out, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended to give a moderate amount of painkillers to relieve the pain. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be given. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the eardrum is perforated, surgical treatment may be necessary. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time is crucial.
