Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, recently, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated for good results?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can use symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as appropriate. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as in cases of eardrum perforation, immediate medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
