Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 8 years old, and for the past few days, she has been constantly tugging at her ear, complaining of itching. In the morning, there have been occasional yellow liquids oozing out. Additionally, she’s experiencing a buzzing sound in her ear and has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media if the earwax turns yellow?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, it is advisable to select some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and also to complement with some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. If accompanied by a high fever, medication should be used based on the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. For those with repeated acute severe cases or those who have already developed a perforated eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be performed. Lastly, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
