Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. Upon inspection, I found the earwax to be purulent, slightly yellow, and it seems she has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children for good effect.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on the child's condition, pain relief medication can be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a ruptured eardrum, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
