Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow discharge in the ear be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops may also be used. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.The above are some common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, medical treatment, such as surgery, should be sought promptly. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
