Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Upon noticing, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has ear pain, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If this does not relieve the symptoms, medical attention must be sought. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid food during treatment.
