Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. Recently, he said he has a sore ear. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, he also had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. You can also use local medication, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplements to help them recover as soon as possible.
