Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, the child said his ear feels itchy and painful. Additionally, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and it seems that he has little appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medications can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, surgical treatment should be administered promptly. During the treatment period, a light diet is recommended, with a focus on liquid foods.
