Patient's question:
My son, who is 8 years old, recently told me that his ear hurts a bit. I noticed that occasionally there is a yellow liquid leaking out, and it's buzzing in his ear. He also has a slightly low fever. I would like to know: What is the best way to treat otitis media with yellow fluid discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment can be given, such as administering antibiotics to the child, which is relatively effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. For children with significant ear pain symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Otitis media is prone to recurrence, and if there is a tympanic membrane perforation, timely treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
