Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. It has been noticed that yellow earwax is leaking from her ears. Additionally, she has been experiencing a buzzing sensation in her ears and a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. For children with obvious ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a particularly high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child's condition worsens and results in a ruptured eardrum, surgery may be required at the hospital. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for the child to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
