Question
My daughter is 5 years old, and recently she has had some pain in her ear and the earwax is yellowish, accompanied by a low-grade fever. Question: How should children with otitis media with yellow effusion be treated?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, antibiotic medications and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. For ear pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken when there is a high fever. If the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly. Perforation of the eardrum may require surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest to aid recovery.
