Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 7 years old. This week, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a little yellow, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, and she had a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from a child's ear.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate analgesics to relieve the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If these methods do not provide relief, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
