Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, it's accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a high fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition worsens and involves a ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Finally, it is hoped that parents will take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
