Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. In the past few days, the child has said her ears hurt. Additionally, the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and there's a buzzing sound in her ears. She also has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with some antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever at this time, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, immediate medical treatment is necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
