Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. This week, the child said her ears were itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a slightly low fever. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow discharge, how should it be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given in moderation. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as in cases of a ruptured eardrum, prompt medical treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
