Patient's question:
My boy is 6 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt, and I noticed yellow earwax coming out. Additionally, he has a headache and fever.：How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of otitis media in children. Parents can choose according to symptoms, opting for local medications such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child develops a serious condition, such as a perforated eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
