Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 1 year old. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs should be given according to the child's symptoms. Local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms.
