Question
Dear reader, our little girl is currently 4 years old and has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellow earwax discharge, decreased appetite, and fatigue. What treatment methods are effective for treating otitis media with yellow fluid in the child’s ear?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric otitis media, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be administered, and regional use of anti-inflammatory ear drops is also a very effective measure. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow fluid discharge, some pain-relieving medications can be chosen to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a high fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication can be used. If the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the condition is severe enough to cause perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. It is also necessary to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and increases their intake of fruits and vegetables.
