Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. Recently, the child said his ears hurt. Also, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Also, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ear?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help relieve the pain. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and oral fever-reducing medication can be given to the child. If it cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. The above methods are currently the most commonly used methods for treating otitis media. In addition, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to perform surgery in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child exercise appropriately to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
