Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 1 year old. Recently, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with yellow discharge from the ear be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child has otitis media, they can be given anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. Local treatments can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication should be given. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient experiences serious symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment in a hospital is necessary. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
