Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old, recently, the child told me her ears ached a little, and besides, there was yellow earwax discharge, accompanied by a headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. If a child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can be combined. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, analgesic drugs can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. Otitis media is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely medical treatment is necessary. Finally, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
