Patient's question:
Baby girl, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sensation in her ears. She also had a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammation symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If high fever accompanies the symptoms, medication should be administered according to the child's condition. In severe cases, seek medical treatment promptly. The methods mentioned above are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
