Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow. Additionally, there was accompanied by headache and fever. Question: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children better.Doctor's answer:
If a child develops otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be administered, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. While being treated, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
