Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated properly in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medications, or use local treatments, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
