Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. Recently, she told me her ear ached a bit. In the morning, I noticed her earwax was purulent, a little yellow, and she also had a headache and fever. Please advise: How should I treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
You can appropriately use some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. For children with significant ear pain, you may use pain-relieving medication. If the condition is accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. If a child develops a perforated eardrum, they should undergo surgery as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
