Question
My child is 8 years old and has been experiencing ear pain recently. The earwax is purulent and yellowish, accompanied by a slight fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
For the treatment of such conditions, consider administering symptomatic antibiotic medication to the child, along with local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered according to the child’s condition. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment may be required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence of the disease.
