Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 years old. Recently, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. Also, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should the treatment be for otitis media with yellow discharge in the child?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptom-relieving antibiotics. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible.In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
