Patient's question:
Little girl, only 6 years old, this week, the child has a slightly sore ear. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and at the same time, there's a buzzing sound in the ear, and a slightly low fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to consider giving pain medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, fever-reducing medication should be used cautiously. If the condition is serious, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is important to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
