Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started kindergarten. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking from her ears. She also seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
