How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 6 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out, and her ears are buzzing. She also has a slightly low fever. Please advise: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, or combined with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can also be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
