Question
My 6-year-old son recently showed symptoms of tugging his ear, an itchy ear, yellow and thick earwax, along with a buzzing sound in the ear and a slight fever. How can we effectively treat acute otitis media with yellow discharge in children?
Answer
For pediatric acute otitis media, antibiotic treatment for symptoms is usually considered. For local treatment, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. For those with significant ear pain, painkillers may be considered. If accompanied by high fever, appropriate medication should be chosen based on the symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, it is recommended to arrange for a light diet, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and promote recovery.
