Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 2 years old. These days, she has been telling me that her ear hurts a bit. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there’s a buzzing sound in her ear. She also has a slight fever. How should we treat her otitis media with yellow discharge?

Answer

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can select treatments according to the symptoms, including regional drug therapy, which can use anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child has fever symptoms, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate hospital surgery is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
