Patient's question:
Little girl, only 6 years old, this week, the child told me that her ears are a bit sore. She noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, her ears are buzzing, and she has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ears.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is relatively effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is serious, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is important to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
