Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. It has been noticed that yellow earwax is leaking out. Additionally, it seems that she has no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can take anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic relief. Parents can use topical ear drops for anti-inflammatory treatment. When the child has severe ear pain, they can also take pain-relieving medication in moderation. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences a eardrum perforation, they should go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
