Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. Recently, the child has been saying his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and he also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ear.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication if necessary. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is advised to visit the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
