Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Recently, she told me that her ear hurts a bit, and in the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her ear was buzzing. She also had a slight fever. How should we treat her otitis media with yellow, pus-like earwax effectively?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with ear secretion bacterial culture and the use of anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the examination results. If the child experiences ear pain with yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If fever is present, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. If the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, timely medical attention and surgical treatment should be sought. It is suggested that parents pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work in daily life.
