Question
My child is 7 years old and has been experiencing ear pain recently. There is yellow earwax discharge and a buzzing sensation in his ear, along with a slight fever. How should I treat his pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
If a child has otitis media, the first-line treatment should be specific antibiotics, along with regional medications or ear drops containing anti-inflammatory ingredients. If the main symptom is ear pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. These methods are common in the treatment of otitis media. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment should be performed. After the condition improves, it is recommended to strengthen the child’s exercise and boost their immunity to prevent recurrence.
