Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 years old. This week, the child said her ears were itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment can be administered, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. When a child's ear pain is severe, analgesic medication can also be used in moderation. Some children may also have a fever at this time, and in such cases, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of eardrum perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily focused on light and easily digestible foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
