Patient's question:
My male child is 6 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and there was a buzzing sound in his ear. He also had a low fever. Please advise: How should I treat my child's otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with pronounced ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate hospital treatment may be required. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover more quickly.
