Patient's question:
A 3-year-old girl just started attending kindergarten. This week, the child has been complaining that her ears are itchy and painful, and occasionally, there is also yellow fluid flowing out. Additionally, she has a headache and a fever. Please advise: What is the best way to treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child's ear pain is severe, painkillers may be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
