Question
My daughter is 1 year old and recently has been expressing pain in her ear, with yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by fever and headache. How should I treat her otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
When treating such conditions, consider administering symptomatic antibiotic medication to the child, along with regional treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a high fever, consider using antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops an eardrum perforation, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly. Parents should take this condition seriously, bring their child for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to preventive and health care measures.
