Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. Recently, the child told me that his ears hurt a little. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. He also has a headache and a fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can take anti-inflammatory drugs accordingly. Parents can apply anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can also be given pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication under advice. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child experiences a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit 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.
