Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax is purulent and slightly yellow. Additionally, her appetite is poor and she feels sore throat. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If a child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If a child develops a eardrum perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
