Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Additionally, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and he seemed to have no appetite and was very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in the ear be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be given. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, medical treatment, including surgical intervention, should be sought immediately. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
