Patient's question:
Baby girl, 3 years old, just started kindergarten. In recent days, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they are itchy. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out, while her appetite is also poor, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: What is the most effective treatment for otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. However, if the fever is high, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, prompt medical treatment, including surgery, is necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
