Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. Ear secretions can be cultured for bacteria. Based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the child has severe ear pain, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a ruptured eardrum, they should be taken to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
