Question
My 9-year-old daughter has a slight pain in her ear, the earwax is yellow and has a sticky texture, she has poor appetite and feels tired. How can I effectively treat the yellow discharge caused by otitis media in children?
Answer
It is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For severe cases of ear pain with yellow discharge, it is suggested to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, seek medical attention promptly. During the treatment period, pay attention to staying warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
