Patient's question:
Little girl, only 6 years old. In recent days, the child said her ears felt itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that there was a lot of yellow earwax, and she seemed to have no appetite and felt very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, it is suggested to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child experiences serious conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, prompt treatment is required. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
