Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears are a little painful. Additionally, there is yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, first, you can use some symptomatic antibiotics, or local medication, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is characterized by recurrence, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it needs to be treated promptly. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
