Question
A 7-year-old boy has been experiencing ear pain for the past few days. The earwax is Purulent and slightly yellow, accompanied by a mild fever. How should yellow ear discharge in children with otitis media be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and also considering regional drug therapy, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given. If the child has fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of severe illness, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery should be sought. Parents should take preventive measures to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
