Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. He noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow, and at the same time, there's a buzzing sensation in the ears, and a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ears.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes, and if there is a case of a perforated eardrum, it should be treated promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
