Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, these past few days, the child's ears have been a bit sore. He noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he also had a headache and a fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, they can also be treated with some local therapies, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give the child appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child develops a severe condition, such as a perforated eardrum, it needs to be treated promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
