Question
A boy, who is 2 years old, has been tugging at his ear and complaining of itching this week. You’ve noticed yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by a slight fever. How should the yellow fluid discharge from the child’s ear due to otitis media be treated effectively?
Answer
Treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms and include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication (symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication). Additionally, regional treatment methods can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, painkillers may be recommended. If there is a high fever, a fever-reducing medicine should be used appropriately. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment and surgery are necessary. Parents should take precautions to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
