Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old. Over the past few days, she has been complaining of itchy and painful ears. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there’s a buzzing sound in her ear. She also has a slight fever. How should we treat yellow effusion in children’s otitis media?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, as well as regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, appropriate painkillers can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is a high fever. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advisable to undergo surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child early on, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
