Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. This week, the child told me her ears hurt a bit. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with yellow discharge be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can take anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic relief, and can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be given. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child develops a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
