Question

Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, has been experiencing some ear pain recently, with yellow earwax discharge. She has lost appetite and is very weak. How should a child with pediatric otitis media and yellow effusion be treated?

Answer

If a child has otitis media, antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with regional ear drops for inflammation. If there is ear pain, analgesics can be used in appropriate amounts. For fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly. In cases of eardrum perforation, surgery may be required. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
