Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old, this week, the child told me her ears are a bit sore. She noticed that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and her appetite is not good either. Her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can also use local treatments with anti-inflammatory ear drops. When the child's ear pain is severe, a small amount of pain-relieving medication can be used appropriately. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used cautiously. If the condition is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. If there is a possibility of eardrum perforation, surgical treatment for the child can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
