Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 years old. This week, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they itch. In the morning, yellow earwax has been leaking out. Additionally, he has a headache and fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given, which is relatively effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. In cases of ear pain, pain relief medication can be given to children. If the child also has a high fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child shows severe symptoms, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
