How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated better?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 1 year old. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow fluid discharge, and his appetite is also poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow earwax be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

If the child gets otitis media, first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication, or topical medication, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever at this time. In this case, oral fever-reducing medication can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
