Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, in recent days, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out. Additionally, she has a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication is possible, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given in moderation. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes, and if there is a eardrum perforation, timely treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
