Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently reported itchy and painful ears, yellow, thick earwax, a buzzing sound in the ears, and a low fever. How should one treat the yellow effusion in a child’s otitis media?
Answer
It is recommended to choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammatory symptoms. In addition to regional drug treatment, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. If the child experiences ear pain, painkillers can be administered in moderation. If accompanied by a high fever, antipyretic medication can be considered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In the event of serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, timely hospital surgery is required. At the same time, pay attention to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to help the child recover quickly.
