Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. Lately, she has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. Additionally, she has a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should you treat otitis media with yellow drainage in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments. For example, applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child can help. If the child has severe ear pain and yellowish discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be given. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a risk of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment for the child should be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a balanced diet and daily routine for the child to help speed up recovery.
