Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt, and there was also yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, he had a headache and a fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with yellow discharge be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the symptoms are mainly ear pain, pain relievers can be considered. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
