Question
An 11-year-old boy recently reported ear pain, yellowish earwax discharge, tinnitus, and a slight fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s otitis media with an earwax pus condition?
Answer
It is recommended to consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, and parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. If the child experiences severe ear pain and yellow fluid discharge, painkillers may be used to alleviate symptoms, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if fever is present. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the eardrum is perforated, surgery may be considered. After the condition improves, appropriate exercise can help boost immunity to prevent recurrence.
