Question
My daughter is 4 years old. These days, she says her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there is yellow earwax discharge, and her ears have a buzzing sound. She also has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. You can choose the appropriate medication based on the symptoms. Additionally, you can use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops for regional treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, you can also use a moderate amount of painkillers. If there is fever, you can take antipyretics. If the fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek medical surgery treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to protective measures in daily life to prevent recurrent otitis media.
