Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. Recently, he has had some ear pain. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and at the same time, he seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected accordingly. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely medical treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures for their children to prevent recurrence of otitis media.
