Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and for the past few days, she has been complaining of ear pain. This morning, I found that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow. She also has a low-grade fever. What should be the best treatment for my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms, including regional drug treatment. You can choose to use anti-inflammatory ear drops if the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge are severe. It is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms if the child is experiencing severe pain. If the child has a particularly severe fever, appropriate antipyretic medication should be used. In case of severe conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treatment, but if the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, timely medical treatment and surgery are necessary. Parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children to see a doctor for treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
