Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in elementary school. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and slightly yellow, and there was a buzzing sound in the ear. There was also a low-grade fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, timely hospitalization and surgical treatment are necessary. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
