Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be applied. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be given. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
