Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and recently, she has been complaining of ear pain. This morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and she also has a loss of appetite and a sore throat. How should we effectively treat yellow ear discharge in children with otitis media?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms, as well as some regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for ear pain. Painkillers can also be administered to the child if necessary. If the child is accompanied by a fever, parents can give the child some antipyretic medication. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe occurrences or if there has been a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be conducted. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, they should also pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
