Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, attending elementary school. Recently, the child has complained of ear pain. Additionally, the earwax is somewhat thick and yellowish. Moreover, the child seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some analgesics to relieve it. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used accordingly. If it is severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child has a severe condition, such as a eardrum perforation, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. It is also necessary to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
