Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 2 years old. This week, the child told me his ears hurt a bit. In the morning, the earwax was a bit thick and yellowish, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge be treated?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences ear pain, pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advisable to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, bring the child to the doctor for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures.
