Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 years old. In recent days, her ears have been a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Ear discharge bacterial culture can be conducted, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic medication may be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
