Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. This week, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax is slightly thick and yellowish. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. In cases of ear pain, children can also be given pain relievers. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to promptly take them to the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
