Patient's question:
Boy, who is 7 years old, has been scratching his ears recently, saying they itch. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out, and his appetite is also poor, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How can the effective treatment be carried out if the child has otitis media with yellow discharge?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately used, and some local treatment methods can be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child has a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take the child to the hospital for early medical treatment. It is also important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
