How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ear be treated better?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 5 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out, and she also doesn't have a good appetite and feels sore throat. Please ask: How should I treat her otitis media with yellow discharge from her ears?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient shows severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly for surgical intervention. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to avoid worsening the symptoms due to a cold.
