Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten and recently discovered that there is yellow earwax discharge from her ear. She has ear pain and a buzzing sound, along with a slight fever. How should we treat the yellow discharge symptoms of children’s otitis media?
Answer
For such cases, consider administering a suitable dose of antibiotics to the child. Parents can use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For obvious ear pain symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medicine can be given or immediate medical attention should be sought. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary, while ensuring the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
