Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 years old, these days, the child said her ears hurt, and the earwax is a bit thick and slightly yellow. Also, it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, timely surgical treatment is required. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and strengthen nutritional supplements to help them recover as soon as possible.
