Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ears?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms or opt for local application, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition is recurring acutely severe or if a eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
