Patient's question:
My male child is 3 years old. Recently, he said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, I noticed the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and he also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How can middle ear effusion with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating these types of diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can be used, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be applied. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
