Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. Recently, the child has been complaining that her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and it seems she has little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for babies. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to seek surgical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
