Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. Recently, he has had some ear pain. Additionally, I noticed that his earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and he seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: If my child has otitis media with yellow discharge, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, and some local treatment methods can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, mild analgesics can also be used in appropriate amounts. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be sought at the hospital as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
