Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 3 years old, has been telling me this week that her ears hurt a bit. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slight fever. Could you please tell me how to treat her ear pain if she has otitis media?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
