Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit sore. I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and it seems that she has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek hospital treatment immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, prompt surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate physical activity to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
