Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 years old. This week, the child's ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, some yellow earwax was discharged, and it seems that he has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can use anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be used in combination, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
