How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boys, they are already 1 year old. In these days, the child said that his ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, there was a lot of yellow earwax, and his appetite was not good either. His throat also felt uncomfortable. I ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain relievers can be used in moderation. If the child also has high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child has a punctured eardrum, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
