Question
A boy, just turned 6 years old, recently told you he has ear pain, and you found that the earwax is thick and yellow, with a buzzing sound in the ear, and a slight fever. How should yellow discharge in children’s otitis media be treated?
Answer
Consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for local treatment, such as ear drops, as well as appropriate pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If accompanied by fever, you can take antipyretics. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the eardrum is ruptured, immediate treatment is required, and attention should be paid to providing a reasonable diet and rest schedule to promote recovery.
