Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. Recently, the child told me his ear hurts a little. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ear.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medications, if the child's condition is severe and results in a eardrum perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
