Question
My daughter is 2 years old. These days, she says her ear hurts, and I’ve noticed that there’s yellow earwax coming out. Besides, there’s a buzzing sound in her ear, and she has a bit of a fever. How should I treat the yellow discharge in my child with otitis media effectively?
Answer
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, or apply regional medications such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the ear pain is severe, you can give her some painkillers. If the child has a fever, she can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child’s condition is severe and there is an eardrum perforation, hospital surgery may be required for treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
