Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. This week, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, he found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and his ears are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be given. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a case of a perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
