Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Lately, his ear has been a bit painful, and I’ve noticed that there is yellow earwax coming out. Additionally, he has a buzzing sound in his ear and a slight fever. How should I treat his yellow earwax and otitis media?
Answer
When treating such conditions, it’s advisable to give the child symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can also administer topical treatments with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it’s recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a particularly severe fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. In severe cases, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this condition and bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it’s also important to do a good job of prevention and health care.
