Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. Recently, he has been experiencing some ear pain. I noticed that his earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and he also has some low-grade fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the symptoms of ear pain and yellow discharge in children are severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use some fever-reducing drugs in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrence, and if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
