Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 year old, this week, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medications, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for infants, can also be used. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain relief medication may be given based on the situation. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child exhibits serious conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent recurrent middle ear infections.
