Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 1 year old and has been complaining of ear pain for the past few days. I noticed that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow. She has lost her appetite and is feeling weak. How should we treat pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
For the treatment of otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and also undergo regional treatments such as ear drops for inflammation. If ear pain is the main symptom, consider using painkillers. If accompanied by a high fever, select medications based on the symptoms. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. In case of severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise, enhance immunity, and prevent recurrence.
