Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. In the past few days, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow ear discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic drugs can be considered. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medications should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
