Patient's question:
Boys, already 4 years old, this week, the child's ears are a bit sore. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish. Additionally, it seems that there's no appetite and the child is also very weak. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically. Local drug treatment is also possible, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain relieving medication can be used appropriately. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurring. If there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
