Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 2 years old and has been tugging at her ear, saying it itches. Upon inspection, the earwax is yellow. She has a loss of appetite and discomfort in her throat. How should one treat pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used for regional treatment, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If there is ear pain, provide a moderate amount of painkillers. If there are fever symptoms, take antipyretic medication. In severe cases, seek medical assistance. If the eardrum is ruptured, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
