Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started primary school. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and complaining of itching. Upon examination, it was found that there is a lot of yellow earwax, and accompanied by some low-grade fever. Question: How to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local medications can also be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. When a child experiences severe ear pain, mild pain relief medication can be administered in moderation. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used appropriately. In severe cases, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child has a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
