Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. In recent days, the child's ears have been a bit painful. It has been noticed that yellow earwax is flowing out, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How is otitis media with yellow discharge treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. While taking the medication, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be performed. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate it. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child shows severe conditions, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, immediate treatment is required. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their children to prevent recurrent otitis media.
