Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, this week, the child has been scratching his ears, saying they are itchy. Upon noticing, yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How can we effectively treat otitis media with yellow discharge in the ears for children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment for children's otitis media. Parents can choose based on symptoms. Local drug treatment can be administered, or anti-inflammatory ear drops can be selected. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
