Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears hurt a little, and sometimes there is also a yellowish liquid discharge. Additionally, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should treatment be carried out for otitis media with yellow discharge from the child's ear?Doctor's answer:
When treating such conditions, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child's ear pain is severe, they may also take pain-relieving medication. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child's condition worsens significantly, such as in cases of eardrum perforation, prompt medical treatment is necessary. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
