Question
My child is five years old and has ear pain, yellowish discharge, poor appetite, and a sore throat. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
For children with otitis media, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment, and choose to use anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional therapy. When the child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. If fever symptoms are present, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early, such as timely surgery for perforated eardrum. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
