Question
My child is 11 years old and in elementary school. Over the past few days, my child has been complaining of itchy and painful ears, with a lot of yellow earwax and a buzzing sound, along with a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
For the treatment of this condition, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications; in addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out using anti-inflammatory ear drops; for children with prominent earache symptoms, some painkillers can be used; if the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medicine or take the child to the hospital immediately; if there is a perforation of the eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child; during the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
