Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite was also poor, with a sore throat. Question: How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear be treated for the child.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Parents can apply topical treatments using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child also has high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely surgical treatment is required. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child receives a light diet and adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
