Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old this year. In the past few days, the child said his ears felt itchy and painful. Additionally, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, to treat the condition. If the child primarily experiences ear pain, it is recommended that parents administer appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a high fever, medication should be administered based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment immediately at the hospital.In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical attention is necessary. During this period, ensure the child receives adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
