Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, her earwax is a bit thick and yellow, and she also has a buzzing sensation in her ears. She has a slight fever. Please ask: How should her otitis media with yellow discharge be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected accordingly. Local drug treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication, but if it persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
