Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 7 years old, has told me that her ears have been a bit painful recently. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax and some low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How should we treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
