Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 years old, in recent days, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. In the morning, yellow earwax was discharged. Additionally, her appetite is not good, and her throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, to treat the condition. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child also has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
