Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. This week, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should I treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, the main approach is the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which have shown good effects. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If the child has a high fever, some antipyretic drugs should be used in moderation. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and involves a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital setting is required. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
