Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should I treat otitis media with yellow discharge in the child's ear?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child has severe ear pain, pain relievers can also be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, hospitalization and surgical treatment may be required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
