Question
My son is 6 years old. This week, he said his ear hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellow, and there was a buzzing sound in his ear. He also had a slight fever. How should children with yellow discharge in the ear be treated?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotic medication can be used for treatment, and ear drops for inflammation and painkillers can be administered to relieve ear pain. If there is a high fever, consider using antipyretics. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention quickly, especially if there is a perforation of the eardrum. During treatment, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold.
