Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 years old, recently, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. She noticed that occasionally there might be some yellow liquid oozing out, and she also has a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat otitis media with discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
To effectively treat otitis media, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. Parents can use topical anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment for their children, or they can also give pain relievers based on the child's condition, especially when the ear pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a high fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication should be used. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to visit the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to preventive measures to avoid recurrent otitis media.
