Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak.：How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on the child's symptoms and administered with anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatment methods can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if a fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during the healing period.
