Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, recently, his ears have been a bit sore. Additionally, yellow earwax has been leaking out, accompanied by headaches and fever. Question: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local medications can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, 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 ruptured eardrum, surgical treatment in the hospital is required. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
