Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 years old, recently, her ears have been a bit painful. Also, it was found that the earwax is purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media, antibiotics are primarily used. Symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which are quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers according to the situation. If high fever is present, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention at the hospital as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media. Additionally, if a tympanic membrane perforation occurs, it requires timely surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest is also essential, and fatigue should be avoided.
