Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 4 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and local treatment can also be performed, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if a fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by getting cold.
