Question
My three-year-old daughter recently started kindergarten and has been experiencing itchy ears. This morning, she had yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by headaches and fever. What is the best way to treat pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow medical advice and administer anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric otitis media. In severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be considered, and for high fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In severe cases where there is a perforation of the eardrum, medical treatment and surgery may be necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet with a focus on liquid foods.
