Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. This week, the child mentioned that his ears are itchy and painful. Upon examination, it was found that there is a lot of yellow earwax. Additionally, there are some low-grade fever symptoms. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can alleviate inflammation symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, mild pain relievers can be used in moderation. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. However, for high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.Besides the above drug treatments, if the child's condition worsens severely, such as in cases of eardrum perforation, immediate medical treatment is necessary. Lastly, parents should take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
