Question
A boy, just over 2 years old, has recently been experiencing ear pain, occasional discharge of yellow fluid, a buzzing sound in the ear, and a slight fever. How should one treat a child’s otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Parents can use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain, painkillers can be administered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently common treatments for otitis media. If an eardrum perforation occurs, timely surgical treatment should be sought. Parents should take care to protect their child’s ears to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
