Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. It has been noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems she has no appetite and feels weak. Please ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear, what treatment is most effective?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, the primary approach is the use of antibiotics. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, and the results are generally good. Local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for medication. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there is a possibility of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. While undergoing treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet, supplements their nutrition, and helps them recover as quickly as possible.
