Patient's question:
Boys, already 4 years old, this week, the child said his ears hurt. He noticed that there was a lot of yellow earwax, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Local medication treatment can be chosen, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Pain relievers can also be given to children when they have ear pain. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate medical treatment and surgery may be required. Parents should also pay attention to proper protection for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
