Question
Dear parents, a 6-year-old boy has been experiencing ear pain this week. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also seems to have little appetite and is feeling weak. How should one treat a child’s otitis media with yellow ear discharge?
Answer
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can perform a bacterial culture of the ear secretion and use an anti-inflammatory ear drop based on the test results. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some painkillers. If the child also has fever symptoms, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. In addition, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to do well in related prevention and health care work in daily life.
