Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. Recently, the child has said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, it seems that he has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently the most commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly for surgical intervention. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
