Patient's question:
Girl baby, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. In recent days, the child has said her ears hurt. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, and she hears a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, they can be given antibiotics to relieve symptoms, which is quite effective. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment, and in cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to children. If high fever occurs, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. If there is a case of a ruptured eardrum, parents can consider surgical treatment for their child. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
