Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. This week, he said his ears were itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite was poor, and his throat felt uncomfortable. How should I treat my child’s otitis media with yellow discharge?
Answer
To effectively treat otitis media, it is advisable to select some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child has severe symptoms such as perforation of the eardrum, hospital surgery may be required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
