Patient's question:
Boys, already 5 years old, in recent days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and his appetite is also poor, with a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow ear discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, (treat according to symptoms) antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child shows severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, prompt medical treatment is necessary. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
