Patient's question:
Little girl, only 9 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. Additionally, there is occasional yellow liquid discharge, accompanied by some low fever. Question: How should otitis media with yellow fluid in the ear be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child's ear pain and yellow discharge symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken under consideration. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child's condition is severe and results in a ruptured eardrum, hospital treatment and surgery may be necessary. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
