Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. In recent days, the child told me her ears are a bit painful. I noticed some yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, her appetite is not good, and her throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should pediatric otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as needed. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. When ear pain occurs, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid getting cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
