Question
Dear parents, my 4-year-old daughter has been constantly tugging at her ear, saying it itches. I noticed yellow earwax coming out and she has a headache and fever. How should we treat her otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric otitis media includes administering anti-inflammatory medications and regional therapy, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops, and for ear pain, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be given. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If an eardrum perforation occurs, surgical treatment may be necessary. During the treatment period, ensure your child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
