Patient's question:
Little girl, only 4 years old, this week, the child told me her ears were a little sore. In the morning, there was yellow earwax discharge, and it seems she has no appetite and is also very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also conduct bacterial culture of ear secretions, and use anti-inflammatory ear drops based on the test results. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to give pain relief medication according to the situation. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, it is necessary to seek hospital treatment promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating otitis media currently. Additionally, if there is a case of tympanic membrane perforation, it requires timely surgical treatment. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
