Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 1 year old. In recent days, the child has said his ears hurt. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he seems to have little appetite and low energy. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local medication is also an option, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
