Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. In recent days, his ears have been a bit painful. He noticed that the earwax is a bit thick and yellowish, and his appetite is also not good, and his throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children effectively.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in a tympanic membrane perforation, surgery is necessary and should be performed at a hospital. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
