Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. This week, the child has been scratching her ears and says they are itchy. Additionally, there is occasionally yellow liquid discharge, accompanied by headaches and fever. Please ask: How should otitis media with yellow discharge be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops otitis media, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically, or topical medications can be applied, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for the baby. If the child's earache and yellow discharge are severe, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a high fever, it is necessary to use some fever-reducing drugs in moderation. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or if an eardrum perforation has occurred, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid food during the treatment period.
