Patient's question:
Little girl, only 2 years old, recently, her ears have been a bit painful. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish. At the same time, she also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor. These can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms, and local medications such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the ear pain is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child also has a high fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
