Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. Recently, she has been complaining of ear pain. In the mornings, there is occasionally a yellowish discharge from her ear, and it makes a buzzing sound. She also has a slightly feverish feeling. I would like to ask: How should I treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. Besides systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can give them some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if a child experiences severe conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum, timely treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
