Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. Recently, his ears have been a bit sore, and occasionally, yellow liquid has been leaking out. Also, he seems to have little appetite and feels very weak. Please ask: How is otitis media with yellow discharge treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or use topical medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. If the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can also be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used according to the child's symptoms. In severe cases, seek medical treatment immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child's condition is severe and results in eardrum perforation, hospital surgery is required. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
