Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, recently, the child said his ears hurt. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, and his appetite was also not good, and his throat felt uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be used, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent earache symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a eardrum perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital is required. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
