Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started primary school. This week, the child said he had ear pain. It was noticed that yellow earwax was coming out, and at the same time, there was a buzzing sensation in his ear and slightly low fever.: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. While taking medication, they can also perform local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's main symptom is ear pain, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give some pain relievers to alleviate it. Additionally, if there is a fever, they can also take some fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a case of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for their child. In daily life, parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for their child to prevent recurrent otitis media.
