Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, already in primary school. Recently, the child said his ears feel itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that there is a lot of yellow earwax. At the same time, he seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Question: How is it best to treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever at this time, in which case you can give the child some fever-reducing medication. If it cannot be, you must seek medical attention. If your child has a eardrum perforation problem, you need to go to the hospital in time for surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to protecting the child to prevent the otitis media from recurring again.
