Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 5 years old. These past few days, she has been experiencing some ear pain, along with rather thick and yellow earwax. Additionally, her ears have been ringing, and she has a slight fever. How should we treat her otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
The treatment method should be based on the child’s symptoms and include symptomatic medications. Regional treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent earache symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child has a high fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be administered. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treatment. If the child shows symptoms of perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment and surgery should be sought. Parents should pay attention to protecting their children to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
