Question
My son is just 6 years old, and lately he has been complaining of ear pain. Upon examination, it was found that there is a bit of thick, yellow earwax, along with a buzzing sound in his ear and a slight fever. How should one treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?
Answer
Consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, including topical applications or oral medications. You can use anti-inflammatory ear drops, and if the symptoms are severe, painkillers can be used to relieve pain. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is severe or the eardrum is perforated, medical attention should be sought promptly. Additionally, pay attention to the child’s diet and lifestyle habits, which can help the disease recover sooner.
