Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This week, he said he had ear pain, and occasionally there was also yellow discharge. At the same time, he had some low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat yellow discharge from otitis media in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets otitis media, they can first be given antibiotics for symptomatic relief. Parents can use anti-inflammatory ear drops for local treatment. If the child has severe ear pain, it is recommended to administer pain medication based on the situation. If the child has a high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a eardrum perforation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to providing your child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
