Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old this year, told me recently that her ears are a bit painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow discharge. Also, she seems to have no appetite and feels very weak. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric otitis media first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Parents can also use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, they can take appropriate pain relief medication. If the child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there are repeated acute severe cases or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
