Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old. In the past few days, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. It was noticed that yellow earwax was coming out. Additionally, there is some low fever. Question: How is it better to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media, the main approach is the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be used based on the child's symptoms, and the effectiveness is quite good. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, pain relievers can be administered according to the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in a hospital is necessary. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as early as possible.
