Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 year old. Recently, the child said her ears are itchy and painful. In the morning, the earwax is a bit thick and yellow. Additionally, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge from the ears be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops, or provide pain relievers based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child exhibits symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
