Question
My son is 3 years old, and lately, his ears have been hurting. I noticed that the earwax is purulent and a bit yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in his ears. He also has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow pus in the ear?
Answer
If a child has otitis media with yellow pus, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with regional drug treatment and the use of ear drops for inflammation. Painkillers can also be given for ear pain, and antipyretics may be administered if there is a fever. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
