Patient's question:
My male baby, who is 1 year old, has been scratching his ears recently, complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellow liquid coming out of his ears, and at the same time, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow ear discharge be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the primary treatment for pediatric otitis media involves the use of antibiotic medications. Symptomatic drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, which have shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain relievers as needed. If the child also has high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medications should be used in moderation. In case of severe symptoms, prompt medical attention is necessary. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is essential to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
