Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and there's a buzzing sensation in the ears. Also, there's a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated appropriately?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first of all, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. Local medication can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child mainly has ear pain symptoms, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, then antipyretic drugs should be used accordingly. If it is severe, then it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is also important to pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
