Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. Recently, his ears have been a bit painful, and he has noticed some yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should acute otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local drug treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with prominent ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a perforated eardrum, they need to be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously and bring their children to seek medical treatment as early as possible.。
