Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 years old. In recent days, the child said his ears are itchy and painful, and he noticed that occasionally there is yellow fluid leaking out. At the same time, his ears are buzzing, and he has a slight fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to babies. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a high fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in moderation. If the condition is serious, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
