Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 years old, recently, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they itch. In the morning, yellow earwax has been flowing out, and it is accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic use of anti-inflammatory drugs can be applied. Local drug treatment is also available, such as choosing anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate use of pain-relieving medication is also possible. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, medical treatment in the hospital is required. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
