Question
A boy, aged 2, has had some pain in his ear this week. Additionally, his earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in his ear. He also has a slight fever. How should one treat children’s otitis media with yellow discharge effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional drug treatment can be used, such as applying an anti-inflammatory ear drop. If the ear pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately given. If the child has a particularly high fever accompanied by symptoms, then some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, with a focus on liquid foods.
