Patient's question:
Boy, just turned one year old. Recently, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Question: How can otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms, and it can be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relief medication can also be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child follows a light diet, strengthens nutritional supplementation, and promotes early recovery.
