Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. These past few days, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and there was a buzzing sensation in the ears. He also had a slightly low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric otitis media, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is relatively effective. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. If the symptoms are mainly ear pain, consider giving pain-relieving medication. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. If the condition is severe, it should be treated as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child has a severe condition, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, it needs to be treated in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
