Patient's question:
My male child is 3 years old this year. This week, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. In the morning, yellow earwax came out, and his appetite was also poor, and his throat was uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. Local treatment options include anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child has a punctured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is required. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet, enhance nutritional support, and help them recover more quickly.
