Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. This week, the child told me that his ears hurt a bit. Additionally, there was occasionally yellow liquid oozing out, and his appetite was poor, along with a sore throat. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately used, and local treatment can also be administered, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for children. If the child's ear pain is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers according to the situation. If the child also has a high fever, pain relievers can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used in the current treatment of otitis media. Additionally, if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to undergo surgery promptly. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
