Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl has just started kindergarten. Recently, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, she has some low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How should middle ear infection with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely surgical treatment at the hospital.，。
