Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child told me her ears hurt a little. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should treatment be carried out for otitis media with yellow drainage from the child's ears?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently the most commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relief medication to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly, such as surgical intervention. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on liquid food.
