Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Could you please explain why there is a yellow, viscous discharge coming from the baby's ears?Doctor's answer:
Hello, According to your prompt, it may be caused by otitis media. It is recommended to use ear drops for anti-inflammatory treatment. Combine with oral medications such as metronidazole. Pay attention to ear hygiene, and consult an otolaryngologist if necessary. Your condition may be a cold-induced cough, caused by exposure to wind and cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath. It can be treated with Saniao Decoction plus medications that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.
