Question
The 9-year-old girl has had some ear pain this week. Additionally, we’ve noticed that the earwax is yellow and purulent. There’s also a buzzing sound in her ear, and she has a slight fever. How should we treat pediatric otitis media with yellow ear discharge?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used. Additionally, regional treatments can be employed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child’s symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a particularly severe fever, some antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child’s condition is severe and there is a perforation of the eardrum, hospital surgery may be required. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment, and mainly consume liquid foods.
