Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, the child said his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, slightly yellow, and accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric otitis media, (symptomatic treatment) can be given by administering some antibiotics to the child, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is more severe, some local treatments can also be combined, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is quite severe, it is recommended to provide some pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
