Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. She noticed, with yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, her appetite isn't good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric otitis media. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretics should be used with caution. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is essential to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm to prevent aggravation of symptoms due to catching a cold.
