Question
A 1-year-old boy has a slight pain in his ear and yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by a low fever. How should one diagnose and treat the yellow fluid in the child’s otitis media?
Answer
Treatment should be based on the symptoms, providing symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used, and painkillers may be administered appropriately in severe cases. If fever is present, a fever-reducing medicine can be given or the child can be taken to the hospital for treatment. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical attention early, and pay attention to prevention and health care in their daily lives.
