Question
A boy, 1 year old, has been experiencing ear pain recently. He has discovered that his earwax is purulent and yellowish, accompanied by headaches and fever. What is the best way to treat children’s otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric otitis media should include symptomatic medication, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops and a moderate dose of painkillers. If there is a fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be taken. In case of high fever, seek medical attention as soon as possible. In severe cases, such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. During the treatment period, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
