Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school, recently, the child said he had ear pain. In the morning, yellow earwax flowed out, accompanied by headache and fever. Question: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be effective. Local medication can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the baby. In cases of ear pain, children can also be given pain relievers. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment and surgery promptly. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, it is important for the child to get plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
