Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 years old, this week, the child said her ears hurt. She noticed that occasionally there was yellow fluid leaking out, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a slightly low fever. Question: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. An ear secretion bacterial culture can be performed, and based on the test results, anti-inflammatory ear drops can be used. When the child's ear pain is severe, pain relievers can also be used in appropriate amounts. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the condition, medical attention must be sought. If there is a case of a tympanic membrane perforation, parents may consider surgical treatment for the child. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
