Question
A young boy, who is now 4 years old, has recently been experiencing yellow earwax discharge from his ears, accompanied by headaches and fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric otitis media with yellow ear discharge?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric otitis media, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medications to their child, while also conducting regional treatments such as using ear drops. If the child’s main symptom is ear pain, they can use a moderate amount of pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be used, and it is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. In case of severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, parents should take protective measures to prevent a recurrence of otitis media.
