Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. Recently, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. Additionally, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and the ears were buzzing. He also had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be applied. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or immediately take them to the hospital. In cases of a perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. It is important to maintain a light diet, and during the treatment period, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
