Question
Dear Baby, currently 6 years old, this week, the child told me that their ear was a bit painful, and sometimes yellow fluid would come out. They also have a poor appetite and an uncomfortable throat. How should we treat a child’s otitis media with yellow earwax for better effectiveness?
Answer
To treat otitis media effectively, one can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory properties under the guidance of a doctor, apply topical anti-inflammatory ear drops in the affected area, and use painkillers in moderate amounts if necessary. If there is a fever accompanying the symptoms, medication should be used according to the condition. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if there is a perforation in the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. It is also important to provide a light diet and increase nutritional supplements to promote recovery.
