Patient's question:
Little girl, only 1 year old. Recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. Additionally, the earwax is slightly thick and yellowish, accompanied by some low-grade fever. Please ask: How to treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or if a tympanic membrane perforation has occurred, surgical intervention should be performed in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent recurrent middle ear infections.
