Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old, these past few days, the child has said that his ears hurt. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out, and he also has some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
First of all, for treating pediatric otitis media, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory drugs. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can also be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If high fever is accompanied, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate surgical treatment at the hospital is necessary. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover early.
