Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, started primary school. This week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, he found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and it seemed that he had little appetite and felt weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing drugs should be used moderately. If it is serious, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to take the child for appropriate exercise to improve immunity and prevent recurrence.
