Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. These days, he has been saying that his ear hurts. This morning, I found that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow. Also, his ear is buzzing, and he has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media if there is yellow fluid coming out of the ear?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, as well as regional therapy, such as administering anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the child has significant pain, he can also be given some painkillers. If the child has a fever, he can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child has a severe condition with a perforated eardrum, hospital surgery may be required. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
