Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching his ears and saying they are itchy. In the morning, it was found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. At the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How can otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain-relieving medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods, but if the child develops a symptom of eardrum perforation, it is essential to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
