Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, who is in primary school. Recently, the child has been complaining of ear pain. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by headache and fever. Question: How can otitis media with yellow discharge in children be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some pain relievers according to the situation. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and in that case, the child can take some fever-reducing medication. If it does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and there is a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing relevant prevention and health care work during daily life.
