Question
My daughter is 3 years old and just started kindergarten. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears buzz. She also has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms and can also be used regionally, such as with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is advisable to administer painkillers according to the situation. If there is a high fever, medication should be used based on the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, if there is an eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
