Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed that the earwax was a bit thick and yellow, and also had a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Ear secretion bacterial culture can be conducted, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on the test results. When the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain-relieving medication can be used in moderation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition worsens, such as in the case of a perforated eardrum, immediate treatment is required. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
