Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. Additionally, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Also, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be performed in the hospital in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also necessary to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
