Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. Upon observation, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to symptoms, and may also combine them with local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has a particularly high fever, some fever-reducing drugs should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is essential to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
