Question
Dear parents, our 8-year-old daughter has been experiencing a mild earache, excessive yellow earwax, and headaches with fever this week. How can we effectively manage the yellow fluid situation caused by the child’s otitis media?
Answer
For pediatric otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be considered, and regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops may be effective. If the child’s ear pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be administered. In case of severe conditions, medical attention should be sought promptly. If an eardrum perforation is detected, medical treatment and surgery should be sought as soon as possible, and attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
