Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 6 years old, has been scratching her ears this week, saying they itch. In the morning, there was some thick and yellow earwax. Additionally, she hasn't been eating well and her throat feels uncomfortable. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local medication can be administered, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be chosen. For children with obvious ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media has a tendency to recur. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it should be treated in a timely manner. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
