Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 1 year old. This week, she has been complaining of itchy and painful ears, with a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. How should I treat her yellow discharge from otitis media?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor for their child, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms and can also be used regionally, such as with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, such as timely treatment for perforated eardrums. In addition, parents should pay attention to protecting their child to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
