Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, this week, the child told me that their ear hurts a bit. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and their appetite is not good, and their throat is uncomfortable. How should I treat it effectively if there is yellow fluid in the child’s ear due to otitis media?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medication based on the child’s symptoms. Regional drug treatment can be chosen, and you can opt for anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the pain in the ear is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In serious cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment promptly. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
