Question
My daughter is 3 years old and has been experiencing some ear pain recently. Her earwax is thicker and yellowish in the morning, she has a reduced appetite, and her throat feels uncomfortable. How should I treat the yellow effusion caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
For symptoms of otitis media, anti-inflammatory medications and topical treatments can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medicine can be used. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should take preventive measures to avoid recurrence of otitis media.
