Patient's question:
Little girl, only 2 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears hurt. I noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. I would like to ask: If the child has otitis media with yellow discharge in the ear, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child's ear pain is significant, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are some common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment at a hospital should be sought promptly. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
