Question

Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old and recently reported that her ear is a bit painful, with yellowish earwax discharge and a low-grade fever. What is the best way to treat her otitis media with earwax pus for better effectiveness?

Answer

When treating such diseases, it is recommended to administer symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child and to complement this with regional treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe and there is yellow fluid discharge, painkillers may be suggested to alleviate symptoms. In cases of high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms, and in severe situations, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If complications such as perforation of the eardrum occur, immediate medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
