Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems she has little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek hospital treatment as soon as possible. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help with early recovery from the illness.
