Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and his appetite was poor, and his throat was also uncomfortable. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms, administering anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medications, if the child shows serious conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate treatment is required. During treatment, maintain a light diet, primarily a liquid diet.
