Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 8 years old, have been scratching their ears recently, saying they itch. It has been noticed that yellow earwax is leaking out, and it is accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Depending on the child's condition, pain relief medication can be provided, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a high fever, medication should be used according to the symptoms. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to promptly seek medical treatment at the hospital. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
