Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. This week, the child told me that his ear hurts a bit. I noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and at the same time, there is some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them according to the symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used in moderation. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, it is important to go to the hospital for surgery in a timely manner. During treatment, it is also necessary to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
