Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was some yellow earwax discharge. At the same time, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. I ask: How should otitis media with yellow ear discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is suggested that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If it is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital as soon as possible for treatment. The above methods are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures for the child to avoid recurrent otitis media.
