Question
A 4-year-old boy has been experiencing ear pain recently. His morning earwax is yellowish, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric otitis media, antibiotic treatment can be effective. In severe cases, regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined, and painkillers can be used for ear pain. If fever is present, consider antipyretic medications or seek immediate medical attention. In case of serious symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment and surgery should be sought. It is advisable for parents to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
