Patient's question:
My little girl is one year old. This week, she has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. I noticed some yellow earwax coming out, along with some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to the symptoms. Local drug treatment can be applied, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be selected. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some analgesics based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
