Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful, and there is also yellow earwax discharge. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. Please advise: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. When the child's ear pain is severe, they can also take some pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During daily life, maintain a light diet, and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
