Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
