Question

How should one treat yellow earwax in children with otitis media?

Answer

To effectively treat otitis media, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for regional treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain and discharge of yellow fluid, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical attention for surgical treatment promptly, while also ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
