Question
A 3-year-old boy has reported some ear pain this week. The earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and he has lost his appetite and is feeling weak. What is the treatment for children’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, or use regional anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily shows symptoms of ear pain, it is recommended to give a moderate dose of pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If fever is present, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Additionally, if there is a perforation in the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
