Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears hurt. Upon observation, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and he also feels a buzzing sensation in his ears. Additionally, he has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local medication can also be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If a child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In serious cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child experiences severe conditions, such as a eardrum perforation, immediate treatment is required. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
