Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, who is in primary school. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful, and the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, as well as a buzzing sensation in the ears. Additionally, he has a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, the right anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain-relieving medication as appropriate. If the child also has a high fever, it may be necessary to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate hospital treatment and surgery may be required. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on consuming liquid foods.
