Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, yellow earwax has been discharged. Additionally, there are some low-grade fever symptoms. Please ask: If a child with otitis media has yellow discharge, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is particularly severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be administered. If the child also has high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is serious, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet, and primarily consume liquid food during the treatment period.
