Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications, local applications, or both. For instance, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for children, such as when the child experiences severe ear pain and yellow discharge. If the symptoms are particularly severe, pain-relieving medications are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are some of the common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
