Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. Recently, she told me her ears are a little painful. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and she doesn't have a good appetite either. Her throat also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatment 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 some analgesics to relieve symptoms. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the patient experiences severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly for surgery. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
