Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears are a bit sore, and he noticed that occasionally there is yellowish fluid leaking out, and the ears are buzzing. He also has a low fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a high fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
