Question
Dear Parent, my 7-year-old daughter has recently been experiencing ear pain, yellowish earwax discharge, loss of appetite, and fatigue. How should we treat yellow effusion in otitis media in children?
Answer
For otitis media, anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with regional application of anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child experiences severe ear pain, a moderate amount of painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, immediate medical attention is recommended. If an eardrum perforation occurs, it is suggested to undergo surgery immediately. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
