Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. Recently, he has had some ear pain. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite has been poor as well. His throat also feels uncomfortable. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. It can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. Additionally, if a fever is present, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if the eardrum has already perforated, surgical treatment should be promptly administered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
