Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 1 year old. This week, the child said his ears hurt. Additionally, there was occasional yellow liquid discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should middle ear infection with yellow discharge in the ear be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. When ear pain occurs, parents can also give children pain relievers. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a possibility of a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment for the child may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
