Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. Recently, she said her ears were itchy and painful. I noticed that her earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. Depending on the child's condition, they can also give pain relievers, especially when the ear pain is severe, which can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment 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.
