Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child has said that her ears are itchy and painful. She has noticed that occasionally there is also yellow liquid discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Please ask: How is it better to treat otitis media with purulent discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can also use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for their children. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers according to the situation. If the child also has a high fever, it is appropriate to take fever-reducing medication in moderation. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child experiences eardrum perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
