Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and recently she has been complaining of ear pain, a bit thick and yellowish earwax, accompanied by headaches and fever. How should we treat the condition of yellowish pus discharge from the ear in children with otitis media?
Answer
For the treatment of such diseases, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotic medication and also use anti-inflammatory ear drops for localized treatment. In cases of ear pain, apply painkillers in appropriate amounts. If there is a high fever, use medication according to the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has a tendency to recur, so if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely medical attention is necessary. During this period, ensure adequate rest and consume more fruits and vegetables.
