Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 years old. Recently, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. Additionally, I noticed the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How can I treat my child's otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic relief. Ear secretion bacterial cultures can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
