Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also hears a buzzing sound in her ears. There is a slight fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ears.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be chosen as appropriate. Local medication treatment options include anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication under guidance. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment at a hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
