Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore, in the morning, there is some yellow earwax leakage, and accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used in conjunction. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is necessary. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
