Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten. This week, she’s been complaining of ear pain, and I noticed the earwax is a bit yellow and purulent . Her ears are buzzing, and she has a slight fever. How should I treat her otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
If your child has otitis media, you can first use symptomatic antibiotic medications, regional treatment, and choose anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, you may consider giving painkillers. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, timely treatment is required. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
