Patient's question:
Boys, just turned 3 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. Upon observation, it was found that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and there is a humming sound in the ears, with a slightly low fever. 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 use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. If it is severe, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a condition of eardrum perforation, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. At the same time, they should also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
