How should children with yellow earwax from otitis media be treated

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 2 years old. Recently, the child has said his ears hurt. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow liquid flowing out, and at the same time, there is a buzzing sound in the ears, and slightly feverish. Please ask: What should be the treatment for the child's otitis media with yellow earwax.

Doctor's answer:

To effectively treat otitis media, you can select anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for their children. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if a fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The methods mentioned above are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Furthermore, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrence of otitis media.
