Question
Dear Baby, currently 8 years old, this week, the child told me that their ear was a bit painful, and I also found that the earwax was purulent and a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low-grade fever. How can we effectively treat the issue of yellow water in the child’s ear due to otitis media?
Answer
To better treat otitis media, it is recommended to choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor. Parents can give their child regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious earache symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child has particularly severe fever, then some antipyretic drugs should be used in moderation. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe cases or if there is already a tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment should be performed. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
