Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, yellow earwax flowed out, while his appetite was not good, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from a child's ear?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, the main approach is the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be used based on the child's symptoms, which have proven to be quite effective. Local medication can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child develops a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a hospital as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
