Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and recently she has been complaining of ear pain, with yellow earwax discharged, loss of appetite, and feeling weak. How should I treat her pediatric otitis media with yellow earwax?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be used. Regional treatment can include anti-inflammatory ear drops. For ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, it is recommended to take antipyretic medication. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child shows symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to seek medical attention and undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
