Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. In recent days, the child told me that her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and at the same time, she heard a buzzing sound in her ears and had a slight fever. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric otitis media, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. A bacterial culture of the ear discharge can be conducted, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops should be used. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them medication with fever-reducing properties. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. Otitis media is prone to recurring, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
