Patient's question:
My male child is 2 years old. Recently, he said his ears feel itchy and painful. In the morning, there is occasionally yellow liquid leaking from his ears, and they are buzzing. He also has a slight fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat otitis media with yellow discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child experiences severe ear pain, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication according to the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is advised to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help aid early recovery from the illness.
