Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful, and also, yellow earwax is coming out. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in the ear be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for the child. If the child has ear pain, they can also be given some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the patient develops severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During this time, make sure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
