Question
My son is 5 years old. These days, he told me his ear was a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his ear was buzzing. He also had a slight fever. What should I do to treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear effectively?
Answer
If your child has otitis media, you can first use symptomatic antibiotic medication. At the same time, consider regional treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If your child’s ear pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have a fever and can take oral fever-reducing medication. If there is no relief, it is necessary to seek medical attention. In case of severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely medical treatment is required. During this period, ensure your child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
