Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 years old. This week, the child said her ears hurt. It was noticed that occasionally, yellow fluid would flow out, accompanied by some low fever. Question: How should otitis media with yellow discharge in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first be given symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is more severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. In cases of ear pain, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there is a case of a perforated eardrum, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Parents should also pay attention to protective measures to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
