Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 years old, these past few days, the child said his ears are itchy and painful, and he noticed that occasionally there is also yellow fluid leaking out. His appetite is not good either, and his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated effectively for children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give some analgesics based on the situation. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a condition of a ruptured eardrum, parents can consider surgical treatment for the child. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
