Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, the child has been complaining that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and is also weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ear?Doctor's answer:
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and you can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child has severe ear pain, you can also use pain relievers in moderation. If the child has a high fever, you should use fever-reducing medication as needed. If the condition is severe, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child has symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent middle ear infections from recurring.
