Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. Upon examination, the earwax was slightly thick and yellow. At the same time, there was a buzzing sensation in his ears and a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local medication can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If a child's earache and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child experiences severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it requires immediate medical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
