Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. Recently, she told me that her ears are a bit sore. Additionally, yellow earwax has been flowing out, accompanied by a headache and fever. I would like to ask: What should be done to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
