Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears, saying they are itchy. Additionally, there is occasional yellow fluid discharge, accompanied by headache and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please go to the hospital for emergency treatment. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to taking protective measures for the child to prevent recurrent otitis media.
