Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 7 years old. Recently, her ears have been a bit painful. She noticed that occasionally, there is also yellow liquid leaking out. Additionally, she seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How should we treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Bacterial culture of ear secretions can be performed, and anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used based on test results. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medications should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If there is a possibility of eardrum perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the primary focus.
