Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. Lately, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, some yellow earwax was flowing out. At the same time, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the ear be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, medication should be used according to their symptoms. In severe cases, it is crucial to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If your child experiences a perforated eardrum, timely medical treatment, including surgery, is necessary. Finally, we hope parents can take this condition seriously and bring their child to seek medical treatment early. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
