Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child has said that he has ear pain and noticed that yellow earwax is coming out. He also seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How can the yellow discharge from otitis media in the child be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for medication. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences severe conditions such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is necessary. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
