Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. This week, he has had some ear pain. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow discharge, and at the same time, he seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Local drug treatment can be applied, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used for treatment. If the symptoms are primarily ear pain, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child has symptoms of a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly for surgical intervention. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
