Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 years old, this week, the child has been scratching her ears and saying they're itchy. Additionally, occasionally, there's yellow liquid leaking out, and at the same time, her ears are buzzing. She also has a slightly low fever. Please ask: How is it best to treat yellow discharge from pediatric otitis media?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications should be given based on the child's symptoms. Local medications can also be used, such as applying anti-inflammatory ear drops to the child. Pain relievers can be administered depending on the child's condition, especially when ear pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a high fever, appropriate doses of fever-reducing medication should be used. In cases of severity, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods, but if the child develops a perforated eardrum, surgical treatment in a hospital is required. Parents should also take precautions to prevent the recurrence of otitis media.
