Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. These past few days, the child told me his ears are a bit painful. He noticed that there is some yellow earwax coming out. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used appropriately. Parents can apply topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for their children, or they can also give some pain-relieving medication based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a high fever, some fever-reducing medication should be used in moderation. If the situation is serious, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication methods, if the child's condition is severe and involves a perforated eardrum, surgery may be required at the hospital. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
