Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should a child with otitis media and yellow discharge in the ear be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. In case of severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek immediate medical treatment for surgical intervention. Additionally, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and regular sleep habits for the child to aid in early recovery from the illness.
