Question
A three-year-old girl has developed ear pain, excessive yellow earwax, buzzing in the ears, and low-grade fever shortly after starting kindergarten. How should one handle the situation of yellow effusion in a child’s otitis media?
Answer
Treatment should be based on the child’s symptoms and involve the use of appropriate anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, can also be combined. If ear pain is the primary symptom, it is recommended to administer painkillers in appropriate doses to relieve pain. In case of fever, fever-reducing medication can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. Pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrence of otitis media, and timely surgical treatment should be considered if there is a perforation of the eardrum.
