Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 4 years old. Recently, the child has said her ears hurt. In the morning, occasionally there is also a yellowish fluid discharge. At the same time, it seems she has no appetite and is very weak. Question: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is otitis media in children, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the child. For children with significant ear pain, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment in a timely manner. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of otitis media.
