Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears are itchy and painful. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, she has a headache and a fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms or use topical medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. Pain relievers can also be given depending on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
