Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and it seemed that he had no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should be treated if the child has otitis media and yellow discharge?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a eardrum perforation, immediate medical treatment is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
