Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she had a headache and a fever.: How should be treated for otitis media with yellow discharge in the child.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital should be sought promptly. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
