Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 5 years old. Recently, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, there is some low-grade fever. Could you please tell me how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge?Doctor's answer:
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and you can also perform local treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. When the child's ear pain is severe, you can also take pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a fever, you can take fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, you should seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
