How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children

Patient's question:

Boy, already 8 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and says they itch. In the morning, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite is not good either. His throat also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should middle ear with yellow discharge from the ear be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Parents can use topical ear drops for inflammation for local treatment. For children with prominent earache symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
