Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. Also, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and it seems he has no appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of a eardrum perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is advised to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence.
