Question
A 10-year-old boy, a student, has been experiencing ear pain recently, with yellow earwax and a buzzing sound in his ear, accompanied by a slight fever. How should one treat the yellow discharge from a child’s ear caused by otitis media?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media involves symptomatic medication along with regional treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s primary symptom is ear pain, it is recommended to administer appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If there is a high fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. If symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to aid in a quicker recovery.
